Description

Betches Media is seeking a Comedy Writer to collaborate across multiple teams and projects, helping punch up copy, shape concepts, and make everything funnier, sharper, and more distinctly Betches. This role will support editorial, branded, social, video, and tentpole initiatives — from scripts, skits, and brainstorms to web stories and newsletters that turn ideas into stronger, funnier executions.
