## About the role

Life insurance has spent over a century talking at people through fear. Ethos was built to talk with them, and the way we do that is through work that's genuinely good: a 15 second TV spot that lands like a gut punch, a radio read that sounds like a friend talking, a UGC clip that doesn't feel like an ad. We're looking for a writer who can bring real creative craft to formats that live and die by whether they convert.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience writing for TV, radio, podcast, and paid social or UGC channels, with a portfolio spanning broadcast direct response and digital creator content
- Deep understanding of direct response creative for TV and radio, you know how to build a hook and a call to action into a 15 or 30 second format and can write both
- Experience writing UGC and paid social scripts for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
- Experience writing for influencer partnerships, including giving creators direction that reads as their own voice rather than a brand script
- Experience at TV and UGC shoots, you're comfortable on set and know how to adapt a script in the moment when it needs to change
- Strong instinct for what makes performance creative convert, paired with genuine creative taste. You know the difference between a hook that stops someone and one that sells
