What are the responsibilities and job description for the Content Writer position at Shown Media?
About Shown Media
We partner with category-defining SaaS and tech brands, including Slash, Marpipe, TripleWhale, and dozens more, to engineer product launches that dominate Twitter (X) and LinkedIn, consistently reaching 10M views per launch.
We do this through a powerful mix of:
- Deep research into how the Twitter (X) and Linkedin algorithms actually work
- Relationship with 300 creators and influencers
- A world-class team of filmmakers, creative strategists, producers, editors and writers who have generated hundreds of millions of views together across all platforms.
Our mission is simple - We take brands that are “boring” and “unsexy” and make them impossible to ignore
About The Role
We’re hiring a Content Writer to help lead our launch department and architect the content behind some of the most talked-about product launches on X and LinkedIn.
This is not a “make us some content” role.
This is a creative engineering role where you shape the narratives of a launch campaign from the ground up alongside our team.
You will be responsible for turning raw, boring businesses, into viral topics…the kind that make founders DMs explode, investors take notice, and entire niches start talking.
You will:
1. Write The Content For The Launch
- Write the content for the official launch video that will be posted on X (twitter) and on Linkedin
- Do research and find viral references of proven viral formats on social media
- Turn clients’ complex product value props into simple, viral storylines
2. Work With Our Distribution Partners and Influencers
- Communicate the most viral posts to our influencer partners to ensure they also create viral posts
- Review drafts they send before posting and make changes accordingly to increase the chances of their posts performing better
- Create a post guide that will make their job of posting and going viral easier
Who You Are
- A storyteller with a deep understanding of how virality works on X and LinkedIn
- Someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
- A strategic thinker who can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to refine details
- You have experience writing content that can reach millions
- You understand narrative psychology, platform-native communication, and the mechanics of attention
