Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Develop and own the story end-to-end — from needs assessment, pre-script writing, pre-production, on set interviews, through post production and editing.
• Shape the narrative before the shoot, directing and adapting it in real time during interviews, and ensuring the story comes together clearly and accurately in the final edit.
• Listen to clients explain their business problem and learn about the medical innovation and disease states they support.
• Learn from clinicians who explain how they use the innovation, which features and benefits matter to them, and how it benefits patients.
• Interview patients with compassion and understanding of their unique situations.
• Speak and write in a way that earns respect and understanding from clinicians as well as be able to switch gears/TOV into patient-facing storytelling, depending on the audience.
• Independently research and synthesize complex medical topics—often with limited public information—so you can engage clients and clinicians as a credible, informed partner from the very first conversation.
• Lead early discovery conversations with clients to understand the business problem.
• Translate client goals into clear storytelling strategies.
• Work with clients to define audiences, messaging, and creative strategy.
• Conduct in-depth pre-interviews to uncover emotional truth, narrative arcs, and key story beats—not just facts.
• In a pre-script, layout the story structure, dialogue and visual opportunities that will make an audience care.
• Work with production team to spec visuals (b-roll and graphics) and to ensure scripts can be executed by the production team within the budget and timeline.
• Conduct on-camera interviews.
• Charm patients and clinicians to help them be their best on camera.
• Gather content that closely matches the pre-script, plus extra unexpected goodies.
• Turn interviews into video scripts that match the creative brief, balancing emotional truth, clinical accuracy, and regulatory guidelines.
• Work with producers and post-production team to ensure content stays on brief through final delivery.
• Support the editorial process to completion with subject matter expertise, keeping the client’s interests in mind.
