JOB PURPOSE

If you’re a content creator who knows TikTok, Instagram and social content inside and out, and who wants to create world class content for some of the world’s biggest brands, we want to hear from you!

You’ll love coming up with ideas but more importantly, you will love making them and have the skills and experience to do so. 

You’ll be able to create, make and film content that is perfect for the FYP/Discovery Feed and create content for our roster of clients, while having the support of a wider team of creatives, strategy, design and media from DEPT. 

This is a very hands-on role. You’ll be confident on camera, and ready and willing to travel. One day you might be filming on location, one day hitting the streets for a mini mic shoot, then filming on set… and everything in between to make content that travels far and wide

• Collaborate closely with the team and clients, presenting ideas clearly and confidently
• Travel to locations for content shoots and brand activations
• Manage and utilise a large brand asset library to inspire and support content creation
• Maintain brand guidelines while experimenting with creative formats
• Embrace a “doer and maker” mindset by prioritising action, ideation, and learning from content performance
• Support the production of high volumes of engaging, snackable social content on a daily basis

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Proven social content experience
• Passion for TikTok, Reels and short-form video content creation, with hands-on experience editing using apps like CapCut or similar
• Ability to generate quick, trend-led, and reactive social content ideas that resonate with Gen Z and wider audiences
• Comfortable filming and presenting on camera with confidence and authenticity
• Experience managing or creating content for personal or brand TikTok/Instagram accounts as a portfolio alternative
• Strong creative instincts combined with a maker mindset, ready to produce and post content rapidly
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate effectively
• Adaptability to work in a fast-paced environment, juggling multiple shoots and content trips, including travel to locations like airports and European destinations
• High attention to brand guidelines and creative tenets, balancing creativity with strategic brand alignment
• Eagerness to learn, experiment, and iterate quickly, embracing a test-and-learn approach to content creation

WHT DEPT?

We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.

We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.

At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION 

At DEPT®, we take pride in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. We actively seek to recruit, develop, nurture, and retain talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, with varying skills and perspectives.

Not sure you meet all qualifications? Apply, and let us decide! Research shows that women and members of underrepresented groups tend not to apply for jobs when they think they may not meet every requirement, when in fact they do. We believe in giving everyone a fair chance to shine.

We also encourage you to reach out to us and discuss any reasonable adjustments we can make to support you throughout the recruitment process and your time with us.
