Story Lead

Full-time

About Primerli

Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth EdTech startup on a mission to raise the bar in digital learning. Let’s face it: most professional learning content is notoriously low quality. It’s boring, slow, and ineffective. At the same time, “content” elsewhere is more engaging than ever. At Primerli, we are taking the modern standards of structure, storytelling, and production quality and applying them to create learning content that is not just effective but also enjoyable. Humans are curious creatures - learning should be a delightful experience, and it can be.

We’re starting this revolution with industry primers. Project-based work is growing across all sectors, with professionals applying their specific functional skills across clients in multiple industries. To succeed, these professionals have to get up to speed fast, becoming experts on an industry overnight. Whether you’re a consultant or a freelancer, this currently results in a lot of time wasted doing desk research and reading long, boring industry reports - and you still have no idea what’s going on.

That’s where we come in. We partner with industry experts with decades of experience to distill their knowledge into bite-sized, animated content that is easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. In just one hour, our learners can gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of any industry, allowing them to ask informed questions, and serve their clients with confidence. We are creating the kind of learning content people want to binge-watch. See a sample video from our banking primer below.

The role

Expert Learner and Teacher. Insight Seeker. Qualitative Problem Solver. Structured Thinker. Storyteller.

Primerli is accelerating its Primer Library, and this role will be in the driver's seat for our future content.

Essentially, you will be producer, script lead, and movie director. You’ll own the development of our online industry primers from ideation to launch by leading a team of experts, script writers, and animators. Day-to-day responsibilities include

  • Collaborating with experts around the world to learn how different industries work
  • Distilling your understanding of how industries work into simple, compelling, and insightful primer storylines
  • Bringing examples, research, and other insights to bear in a way that increases engagement and deepens understanding of the topic
  • Supporting the creation of witty and concise scripts for the production team to turn into animated videos
  • Pitching visual story ideas to explain complex business concepts in an engaging way
  • Guiding the production team through the process to ensure the final product is engaging

While the company is based in California, you will be working remotely with a global team and reporting directly to the Head of Product, who is a former BCG Project Leader with more than six years of consulting experience across different geographies.

Primerli is a growth-stage start-up, and you will be joining our team at an exciting time.  You will have many opportunities for growth and for shaping the future of our Product.
