About the Role:

As a Screenwriter at WinZO TV, you will be a key creative voice behind our original series. You will be responsible for crafting compelling, binge-worthy narratives for a global, mobile-first audience. We're looking for a talented writer to shape the future of digital entertainment and pioneer a new form of storytelling.

This role requires a unique blend of creative vision and a deep understanding of audience behavior. You will build highly-serialized narratives that are emotionally impactful, visually dynamic, and optimized for the vertical format.

What you will do:

• Story & Adaptation: Adapt existing intellectual property (IP) and original stories into highly-serialized, micro-drama scripts. You will also conceptualize and write your own original screenplays from the ground up.
• Format & Pacing: Master the art of writing for the vertical screen. You will craft each episode to be a self-contained, high-impact installment that ends with a powerful cliffhanger.
• Creative Collaboration: Work closely with the Content Head, Creative Producers, and directors to bring your scripts to life, from initial concept to final production.
• Data-Informed Storytelling: You will use audience insights and performance data to understand what resonates with viewers, and apply these learnings to refine future scripts and concepts.
• Pitching: Develop and pitch new series ideas to the creative team, effectively communicating your vision and the commercial potential of your stories.

What you should have:

• A proven track record as a screenwriter, with a strong portfolio of produced work. Experience in writing for short-form content, such as web series or micro-dramas, is a significant advantage.
• A passion for storytelling with a deep understanding of plot, character development, and genre conventions. You have a unique voice and a knack for creating compelling narratives.
• A demonstrated ability to create powerful, emotionally resonant moments that leave an audience hanging on a cliffhanger, a core skill for success in this format.
• You are a great collaborator who can take and incorporate feedback while working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. You can deliver excellent work on tight deadlines.
• A strong understanding of the digital content landscape, with an awareness of the latest trends in storytelling and what resonates with audiences.

What we offer you:

• A flat and transparent culture with an incredibly high learning curve
• A swanky informal workspace which defines our open and vibrant work culture
• Opportunity to solve new and challenging problems with a high scope of innovation
• Complete ownership of the product and chance to conceptualize and implement your solutions
• Opportunity to work with incredible peers across departments and be a part of the Tech revolution
• Most importantly, a chance to be associated with big impact early in your career

At our core, we're a creative company. Ideas are where we live, and we love building magical products. It's not just about features, it's also about how they make people feel. So, we build at the intersection of the technical and the romantic. And it all starts with people, the right team that cares deeply about our mission, values, and our users. We value diversity. We are an equal opportunity employer: we do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, gender, ethnicity, or disability status.
