Job Description
Location: San Francisco, CA | Type: Full-time (contract-to-hire OK)
Team: AI Influencer Studio (System2)
Reports to: Chief of Staff / AI Influencer Project Lead
Why this role
This is a role unlike any that exist today. We’re building a universe of AI-generated influencers in the fitness, wellness, and lifestyle space. Most AI content today feels soulless; we want the opposite—characters that feel alive, funny, and worth following. Characters not constrained by reality and empowered by top-tier writing.
We’re hiring a writer who can create viral, character-driven comedy. Think punchy hooks, hot takes, and sketch-like formats that people want to reshare. If you love satire headlines, improv “game of the scene,” and creator-style pacing (with the speed of TikTok), this role is for you.
What you’ll do
Script engaging shortform content — write 15–60 second pieces for TikTok/IG/YouTube Shorts designed for hook, hold, and share.
Develop character voices and arcs — create consistent POVs, recurring jokes, and evolving storylines for AI personas.
Build repeatable series formats — e.g. parody segments, sketch-style setups, or “hot take” frameworks with a clear comedic premise.
Collaborate in-person — work directly with other creatives to generate, test, and refine material in the studio.
You have
3+ years writing comedy, satire, or sketch (college humor mags, improv/sketch troupes, creator-led content, or professional credits).
A portfolio showing funny, shareable, character-driven content.
Comfort writing fast, hook-first scripts (e.g. five hooks in five minutes, and cut the weak ones).
Awareness of creator storytelling formats and what makes TikTok/IG/Shorts audiences stick.
Familiarity with data + performance metrics (hook %, avg watch time, saves/shares) to iterate scripts.
Bonus points
Wrote for satire/comedy outlets
Improv/sketch training
Experience with creator teams, especially shortform comedy or edutainment.
Basic photo/video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, Photoshop)
Familiarity with AI tools (ChatGPT/Claude, Midjourney/Runway, Veo/Sora, ElevenLabs)
