As an in-house screenwriter at FlareFlow, your core responsibility is to identify high-potential source material (micro dramas and web novels) and transform them into commercially compelling scripts.

- Develop localized adaptation strategies that translate source material into high-retention, platform-ready micro drama scripts.
- Analyze successful case studies and apply critical thinking to solve structural and narrative challenges during adaptation.
- Bridge data insights and creative decisions — remain highly sensitive to performance metrics and continuously optimize story direction based on data feedback.
- Collaborate closely with production and creative teams to ensure scalable and commercially viable storytelling.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of screenwriting experience in Romance and Drama genres.
- Strong instinct for fast pacing, cliffhanger construction, and serialized storytelling.
- Basic understanding of micro drama dynamics and social media audience psychology.
- Comfortable writing adult romance/drama, including emotionally intense or sensitive themes.

- Strong passion for the micro drama industry and evolving short-form storytelling trends.
