The OpportunityWe're looking for Associate Creative Director for Social who is equal part writer, satirist, cultural observer, and comedic architect. This isn't a "social copywriter" job. This is for someone who understands the craft of writing for the internet at a professional level: short-form scripts, comedic beats, fast-pivot ideation, and character humor that can translate across TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, and emerging formats.
This role will help build the voice of Adobe's social ecosystem through original ideas, reactive content, and comedic story instincts, while collaborating with creators, editors, strategists, and production partners to bring programming to life.
What You'll Do- Lead social-first creative development with a heavy emphasis on comedic writing, satirical framing, and short-form storytelling.
- Develop scripts, sketches, formats, and recurring characters that can anchor new social programming.
- Elevate Adobe's brand presence by applying comedic timing, social literacy, and cultural proficiency to campaign moments and always-on content.
- Lead a team of writers and editors across tone, structure, and comedic craft.
- Translate insights and trends into ideas that feel original, sharp, and shareable.
- Partner with Influencer, Production, and Social Intelligence teams to develop ideas that resonate target audiences.
- Maintain a strong bar for creative excellence and writing quality across all social channels.
What You'll Bring- A proven portfolio of comedic writing across short-form video, sketch, satire, or character formats.
- Professional experience writing for platforms like The Onion, SNL, late-night shows, digital satire studios, or equivalent environments.
- Strong understanding of social platforms, social pacing, and writing for visual comedic timing.
- Ability to write scripts that are concise, funny, unexpected, and deeply internet-native.
- Comfort working in a fast environment with changing inputs and high creative expectations.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience in both writer's-room and social-native environments.
- Strong grasp of Adobe tools and generative workflows is a plus.
- A point of view on where internet humor is going and how brands should adapt.
