We believe Love and Technology can make education better. Each week, more than 6 million students are enrolled in TAL’s online and offline education platform.

What You Will Do

Video content is one of Think Academy’s key communication tools with parents. Across our website and social media platforms, videos play an essential role in explaining course structures, teaching methods, and student outcomes.

As a Video Director / Scriptwriter , you will be responsible for the end-to-end creation of educational and marketing videos, from concept development and scriptwriting to production and delivery. You’ll ensure that each piece clearly conveys the value of our courses and builds trust with parents. The role requires strong content planning and basic video production skills, as well as cross-functional collaboration with the teaching, design, editing, and marketing teams.

  • Content Planning & Ideation : Understand course objectives, student learning characteristics, and parent pain points to identify key topics for video creation.

  • Collaborate with designers, editors, and marketing teams to maintain visual and brand consistency.
  • Monitor content performance metrics (completion rate, retention, conversion) and recommend improvements.
  • Project Execution & Knowledge Management : Manage video production timelines and deliverables across departments.
  • Build and maintain a structured script, footage, and template library.
  • Conduct post-project reviews to summarize learnings and continuously improve workflow efficiency.

How You Can Be Qualified

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Media, Education, Marketing, or a related field
  • 1-3 years of experience in video directing, scripting, or content planning; experience in the education industry or knowledge-based content is preferred
  • Strong storytelling and scriptwriting skills with a solid understanding of video narrative structure

  • Sensitivity to educational content and the ability to transform complex concepts into accessible and relatable stories
  • Preferred Qualifications : Experience in K–12 educational or competition-related content production
  • Understanding of social media algorithms and short-video growth strategies; experience in building or growing an account from scratch
  • Proven ability to manage end-to-end production with strong quality control
