Script Supervisor – MOOC Content Production

We are looking for a meticulous and academically inclined Script Supervisor to support the
smooth execution of presenter-led instructional video shoots for our MOOC and e-learning
programs. This role ensures content integrity, delivery flow, and continuity from script to
screen bridging the gap between instructional designers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and
production teams.
You will play a crucial role during studio shoots, tracking script progression, ensuring accuracy
of spoken content, and managing on-set alignment between the presenter, teleprompter,
and visual aids.
Key Responsibilities:
● Script Continuity & Live Shoot Support:
○ Ensure presenter adherence to the final approved script during recording sessions.
○ Track script progress during shoots and flag deviations or retakes in real-time.
○ Align script flow with visual slides, screen captures, graphics, and on-screen annotations.
● Content Accuracy & Consistency:
○ Verify factual consistency and instructional sequencing in collaboration with instructional
designers and SMEs.
○ Identify mismatches between the script and what’s being recorded (terminology,
transitions, examples).
○ Support presenters with cues, clarifications, or corrections during shooting, without
interrupting natural delivery.
● Documentation & Metadata Management:
○ Annotate shoot logs with timecodes, script segments, and content changes for
post-production.
○ Maintain continuity records across modules, lessons, and retake sessions.
○ Ensure any script revisions are version-controlled and clearly communicated across
stakeholders.
● Pre-Production Coordination:
○ Review scripts for instructional clarity, timing, and recording feasibility prior to shoot
schedules.
○ Collaborate with the teleprompter operator, video director, and graphic editor to prepare
visual elements tied to the script.
○ Assist with script timing estimation to ensure content fits MOOC platform length
guidelines.
● Post-Production Support:
○ Hand off clean, annotated scripts and shoot reports to video editors for smooth
post-production.
○ Flag missed lines or slide mismatches that may need pick-ups or editing workarounds.
Qualifications & Experience:
● 3–5 years of experience in content production, script supervision, or academic media
environments.
● Prior experience with e-learning videos, MOOCs, or educational broadcasting strongly
preferred.
● Understanding of script formats used for instructional or documentary-style videos.
● Familiarity with teleprompters, video production setups, and studio environments.
● Strong command over written English, grammar, and academic clarity.
● Proficiency in tools like Google Docs, Final Draft, StudioBinder, or content management
systems.
Success Profile:
● High attention to detail, especially for verbal delivery, visual accuracy, and sequencing.
● Comfort working with educators, academic content, and high-volume video shoots.
● Strong presence on set, able to tactfully intervene, suggest corrections, and coordinate calmly
under time pressure.
● Process-driven and able to manage multiple lessons or courses in parallel with clean
documentation.
