We are building the next generation of e-commerce and clinical infrastructure from the ground up.</p> <p data-start="468" data-end="684">As an early-stage company, we move quickly, operate with limited layers, and expect high ownership from every team member. There is no bureaucracy here — decisions happen fast, priorities evolve, and builders thrive.</p> <p data-start="686" data-end="834">We are a remote-first, globally distributed team that values clarity, accountability, and people who take initiative rather than wait for direction.</p></div><h1><strong>About the role</strong></h1> <p>LumiMeds is a fast-growing telehealth company in the compounded GLP-1 and metabolic health space. We're building a brand that actually connects with people, and we need a writer who knows how to make them laugh.</p> <p>This is not a "write captions" role. You'll be the creative engine behind our short-form comedy content, writing scripts for TikTok and Instagram Reels that are sharp, on-brand, and genuinely funny. You'll work closely with our Social Media Manager and on-camera talent to develop concepts, punch up hooks, and turn wellness topics into content people actually want to watch.</p> <p>The right person for this role understands the rhythm of short-form comedy. You know how to land a joke in 15 seconds, write for a specific voice, and make a GLP-1 medication brand feel human without crossing compliance lines.</p> <h1><strong>What you'll do</strong></h1> <ul> <li>Write scripts and concepts for short-form comedy content across TikTok and Instagram Reels</li> <li>Develop recurring formats, characters, and comedic angles rooted in the wellness and weight loss space</li> <li>Collaborate with the Creative Director and Social Media Manager on content calendars, hooks, and creative direction</li> <li>Write for specific on-camera talent, adapting to their voice, timing, and delivery style</li> <li>Ideate and pitch new concepts weekly, kill what doesn't land, build on what does</li> <li>Work within FDA and FTC compliance guidelines for healthcare content (we'll train you, but you have to be open to it)</li> <li>Optionally appear on camera if you're comfortable, but not required</li> </ul> <h1><strong>What you won't do</strong></h1> <p>This role has clear scope boundaries, both to protect the brand and keep content compliant:</p> <ul> <li>You will NOT write scripts that make efficacy claims, weight-loss promises, or outcome guarantees about LumiMeds products</li> <li>You will NOT write testimonial-style content attributing personal results to medications</li> <li>You will NOT write content that compares LumiMeds compounded medications to FDA-approved branded products in promotional terms</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h1><strong>What we're looking for</strong></h1> <h2><strong>Required</strong></h2> <ul> <li>A portfolio of short-form comedy writing. Spec scripts, published content, personal account, anything that shows you can be funny in under 60 seconds</li> <li>Strong understanding of TikTok and Reels formats, trends, and what makes content perform</li> <li>Ability to write for someone else's voice, not just your own</li> <li>Fast ideator. You can generate 10 concepts, know which 2 are worth pursuing, and move quickly</li> <li>Comfortable working in a regulated space and willing to learn the guardrails</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Strongly preferred</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Experience writing for health, wellness, or lifestyle brands</li> <li>Background in sketch, improv, or comedy writing in any format</li> <li>Familiarity with what's trending in the GLP-1 or weight loss conversation online</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Bonus</strong></h2> <ul> <li>On-camera presence and willingness to appear in content</li> <li>Experience writing for specific talent or creators</li> <li>Spanish or Tagalog fluency</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h1><strong>Logistics</strong></h1> <ul> <li>Engagement type: Full-time employee</li> <li>Location: Fully remote, U.S.-based</li> <li>Start date: As soon as the right person is found</li> </ul> <h1><strong>Why this role exists</strong></h1> <p>Health content is saturated with the same serious, clinical tone. We think there's a better way to talk about GLP-1s, metabolic health, and the very real, very relatable experience of being on this kind of program. Comedy builds trust. A well-placed joke makes someone feel seen. We want a writer who gets that and can build it into everything we make.</p> <p>This isn't a role for someone who treats compliance as a creativity killer. It's a role for someone who finds the funny within the guardrails and makes people stop scrolling because they actually had to laugh.</p> <p>If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.</p> <p><em>We review applications on a rolling basis. Expect to hear back within 2 weeks if there's a fit.</em></p><div class="content-conclusion"><p data-start="726" data-end="742"><strong data-start="726" data-end="742">How to Apply</strong></p> <p data-start="744" data-end="911">If this role sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you.
