THE ROLE: Audio Creative Writer, Nova Entertainment Sydney

*ChatGPT need not apply.

At Nova Entertainment, we prefer our Audio Creative Writers to be human—creative, intuitive, and able to understand our audience to their core.

But that doesn’t mean we’ll settle for anyone with a pulse

We’re on the hunt for an original thinker to join our Creative Services team based in Pyrmont studios.

You’ll need to be a team player, a creative collaborator, and a self-starter who can project manage audio advertising campaigns from initial brief to finished audio, jumping between radio, digital audio, podcasting, and in-store radio at a moment’s notice.

Reporting to the Group Creative Manager, you’ll work closely with a team of award-winning creatives, account managers, strategists, talent managers, sound designers, on-air talent, and voice actors to create world-class audio for our valued clients.

*All jokes aside, some experience harnessing the growing collaborative power of AI would not harm your chances

Chances are, you’ve worked in audio before or still do (we can’t blame you, we love it too) and you’ve got some examples of your work worth listening to. A cracking referral wouldn’t go astray either

HOT TIP: You will be asked about our audio products and what you love about NOVA, so make sure you log into the Nova Player.

To apply, write a script that sells the one thing that sets you apart from other creative types.

The best scripts will proceed to the next round, where applicants will respond to a client brief and flex their wordsmith abilities.

To support & reward your success in this role, we will offer the successful candidate:

- A high-performance culture where you will work among a team that prides itself on being engaged, dynamic, and able to leap over any obstacle
- Exclusive early bird access to the biggest events & concerts across Australia
- Access to health and wellbeing initiatives (Nova’s Life+ & Employee Assistance Program, mental health training programs)
- Amazing employee benefits from a huge variety of partners nationally
- Frequent staff lunches & survey celebrations (2025 is already shaping up to be a BIG year with some BIG wins)
- You’ll work with a squad of award-winning humans—sound designers, strategists, and voice actors—to craft standout audio that actually sells.

This is a full-time, on-site position located in our Sydney studios. Our teams are dynamic, engaged, and highly collaborative, and being on-site will ensure your personal and professional career development. Depending on the needs of the business, we welcome the opportunity to explore flexible work options where appropriate.
