Lead Storyteller

The role

You will lead a team of 8 to 10 storytellers and review every story they create before it reaches an audience. You will also train your team on the laws of storytelling and keep creating your own stories.

What you will do

• Enforce the laws of storytelling on every story, never your own taste.
• Review every story your team creates, every day, with a clear reason for each decision.
• Give feedback that teaches, in live sessions, written notes or recorded walkthroughs.
• Train each storyteller on the laws one piece at a time and push them out of their comfort zone.
• Keep enough great stories moving to publish consistently each week.
• Study what the audience did, find out why stories worked or failed, and turn it into lessons.
• Bring laws the team has not covered to the group with the stories that prove the gap.
• Build training guides that show how to apply the laws, without adding new rules.
• Keep telling your own stories.
• Bring new storytellers up to speed and train someone who could take your seat.

Required qualifications

• A storyteller first, able to hold your own with the people you lead.
• Able to explain why a story works, not just feel it.
• Objective: pass a story you dislike when it does what great stories do.
• Direct: honest and specific feedback.
• A teacher at heart who lets cheap mistakes happen and teaches from them.
• All in: this is your main job.
• Fast: connects what you see across stories quickly.

Before you apply

• This role is not for people who judge stories by personal taste, want to bring their own rules, or want AI to do the creative work.
