At Pocket Worlds, we build games and experiences that connect people with each other. Our mission is to connect the world through shared experiences, and we move fast, ship constantly, and expect excellence from ourselves and each other. We hire people who are smart and hungry, who take ownership, and who love what they do.

We’re looking for a Creative Writer to craft compelling storylines, dialogue, and narrative arcs for our upcoming Season Pass. This is a contract role, focused on delivering high-quality narrative content that deepens player engagement and drives the season’s theme forward.

You’ll work closely with our Product Leads to ensure the storylines connect with gameplay, resonate emotionally, and scale across different content drops.

• Write storylines, character arcs, dialogue, and lore for the upcoming Season Pass.

• Collaborate with Product Leads to align narrative with gameplay mechanics and seasonal objectives.

• Rapidly iterate on story concepts based on feedback.

• Deliver polished scripts and supporting narrative documentation on time.

• Ensure tone, style, and themes are consistent with Pocket Worlds’ brand and player expectations.

• Strong background in creative writing, narrative design, or screenwriting (games, TV, comics, or interactive media preferred).

• Proven ability to develop characters, themes, and story arcs that resonate with broad audiences.

• Comfortable with fast iteration. You don’t get precious about drafts, you get better with feedback.

• Excellent communicator who thrives in collaboration.

• Portfolio of past narrative work (short stories, scripts, dialogue, narrative game design, etc.).

At Pocket Worlds, excellence means inputs, outputs, outcomes. You’ll succeed if you:

• Take ownership of your craft.

• Ship fast, iterate faster.

• Push ideas forward instead of waiting for direction.

• Love storytelling and believe in its power to connect people.
