As a freelance script writer, your duties vary somewhat depending on the needs of your clients, though for the most part you focus on the writing and editing of scripts for video productions. You can write and pitch a screenplay to an agent, who will attempt to sell it to a film production studio, television studio, or other media production company. Some clients hire freelance script writers to help improve existing scripts as part of a writing team, while advertising agencies and commercial production companies hire scriptwriters to create the scripts for video or audio advertising. If a studio or producer hires you or accepts your script pitch, you work on the project on a contract basis.
| Aspect | Freelance Script Writer | Screenwriter |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Writing experience, portfolio, sometimes film/TV courses | Film/TV writing background, often with industry training |
| Work Environment | Freelance, remote or client sites | Studio, production company, or freelance |
| Employer/Industry | Clients across various industries, including advertising, entertainment | Film, TV, streaming platforms |
| Search/Comparison Intent | Seeking freelance writing opportunities, script projects | Seeking professional script development for media |
Freelance Script Writers typically work independently on diverse projects for various clients, often remotely. Screenwriters focus on creating scripts specifically for film or television productions, often within the entertainment industry. While both roles require strong writing skills, screenwriters usually have industry-specific experience and may work within production environments, whereas freelance script writers have more flexibility and diverse client bases.

Kyra is an enterprise influencer marketing platform working with brands like SharkNinja, Coach, H&M, Ray-Ban, and Converse. Our platform manages the full lifecycle — creator discovery, campaign management, content review, payments, analytics, and AI-powered intelligence across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Fully remote · Freelance, up to 3 months with potential for extension · Multiple roles
across verticals · Must work 9am to 6pm Eastern Time (ET)
Immediate start. We have freelance campaign roles available right now, and we're looking to fill them quickly.
We're hiring freelance Campaign Managers across four verticals: AI and tech, fintech, sports and beauty. Each freelancer works predominantly with one client.
Our clients want to be great at creator marketing, and they move quickly. Briefs evolve once a campaign is live, and our best campaign managers enjoy shaping them with the client.
- Day-to-day delivery on your campaigns is yours
- You cast, negotiate with and contract creators
- You keep the client updated day to day on progress and performance
- Your campaign lead sets direction, and a director leads strategic client conversations
Commercial
- You hit the CPV or CPM agreed with the client. You watch reach and engagement closely and shift budget or creators mid-campaign to stay on target
- You negotiate rates that fit the budget, and creators are keen to work with us again
- When a client wants to add a link in bio or a repost, you scope and cost it with them first
Casting
- Your casting lists are culturally spot on and go beyond the usual names, often to creators we haven't discovered yet
- You turn a brief like "performance marketer who's also a TikTok creator" into clear search filters
- Your creator briefs and scripts get the content right first time
- You hold every piece of content to a high standard before it reaches the client
Platform, AI and data
- You're running full campaigns in our platform from day one: discovery, casting, outreach, contracts, payments and reporting. Experience with other influencer marketing tech platforms is a huge plus
- Your outreach works at volume and still feels personal
- AI is part of your daily workflow for research, outreach and briefs, and you check its
output
- You know TikTok, Instagram and YouTube analytics inside out
Complexity
- Complex, bespoke accounts are your comfort zone, and that experience carries over to high-volume work
- You've freelanced in agile, fast-moving teams, like a big beauty group, an agency or a
tech start-up. You get up to speed quickly and adapt when priorities shift
Communication and leadership
- Your writing is clear and confident, and everyone knows what's happening
- Clients hear from you before they need to ask, and your performance updates are easy to follow
- You stay composed on tough client calls and keep the relationship strong
- You flag risks early, with a fix in mind
- Leadership gets honest numbers from you, including when results are behind
- You give your Campaign Manager clear direction and useful feedback
- You build strong relationships with our Client Solutions and Strategy teams, and with your creators
We're growing our beauty team fast. If you've worked with beauty or fragrance brands, we'd especially love to hear from you.
- 3+ years in influencer marketing, talent management or campaign management
- A solid grasp of how influencer campaigns run end to end
- Hands-on experience with influencer marketing platforms for discovery, outreach and reporting
- Creator negotiation and contracting experience, including usage rights
- Some client-facing experience, ideally with enterprise brands
- Campaign experience and strong US cultural knowledge in AI and tech, fintech, sports or beauty
- Availability 9am to 6pm Eastern Time (ET), Monday to Friday. This is mandatory,
wherever you're based
- Up to 3 months, with a strong likelihood of extension
- Paid on a day rate. Include yours when you apply
- Fully remote
1. Send us your CV, your day rate and the vertical you're applying for.
2. If you're shortlisted, we'll invite you to complete our casting challenge, where you build a creator list for a sample brief in our platform. It's a chance to show us your taste and get a feel for how we work.
3. You'll have a short conversation with a member of our talent team and the campaign
lead.
