About Streetcraft

Streetcraft is a leading creator of urban planning and transportation content, reaching a large global audience through engaging, solution-oriented videos. We use simple language, clear visuals, and strong storytelling to make urban planning feel exciting and accessible.

Role Overview

Streetcraft is looking for a Story Producer who loves understanding how streets and cities work and turning complex technical topics into engaging scripts. This is a contract-based creative role focused on developing videos for social media, organizations, and cities.

What You Will Do

  • Explore and pitch story ideas
    Recognize when a project is more than just “another resurfacing” and has real narrative potential. This might come from news articles, city plans, or your own observations.

  • Write scripts
    Create clear story arcs that translate complex concepts (like curb extensions or road diets) into language a general audience can understand.

  • Think visually
    Provide visual guidance that supports the script, such as indicating where diagrams, maps, before and after scenes, or explanatory graphics would be helpful.

  • Research deeply
    Gather context from city documents, maps, and planning PDFs to ensure accuracy.

  • Ask good questions
    If a redesign proposal removes parking, you might ask why. If an intersection is unsafe, you might ask how it could be improved. Curiosity is part of the job!

What You Will Need

  • Experience writing narrative or explainer-style content
    This could come from documentary work, journalism, podcast producing, educational YouTube, or a similar field.

  • Conceptual understanding of transportation & planning principles
    You don’t need a degree, but you must understand the fundamentals of how streets work (especially in North America). You should be able to read a simple road plan without a step-by-step explanation. If you’ve studied enough Streetcraft videos, you’re on the right track!

  • Tone adaptability
    The ability to write in a clear, conversational voice that matches the existing Streetcraft style.

  • Strong research and synthesis skills
    Ability to gather information from multiple sources and shape it into a compelling story.

What’s Great About This Role

  • Flexible schedule with creative, project-based work.

  • Freedom to dive deep on topics you care about.

  • Pitch ideas and shape stories that reach a large, engaged audience.

  • Room to grow into a more permanent creative position.

  • No formal degree required. Strong writing and conceptual understanding matter most.

Compensation and Workload

This is a contract role paid via a monthly retainer.

  • Retainer:
    $1,800 – $2,200 per month (depending on experience).

  • Expected Output:
    Average of 1 long-form deep dive script (8–12 mins) and 4–5 short-form scripts (~1 min) per month.

  • Flexibility:
    Workload may fluctuate, but we will collaborate to ensure the scope remains fair and consistent.

This job description outlines the main responsibilities, but additional tasks or adjustments may be requested as the scope of projects evolves.
