Collaboration:

Work closely with internal teams including strategy, influencer, production, and account management to ensure content aligns with wider campaign and brand objectives.

Content Delivery:

Support the end-to-end production process, from planning and shooting through to editing and publishing, ensuring content is delivered on time and to a high creative standard.

Feedback & Optimisation:

Review content performance and use insights to refine and improve future output, contributing to a culture of continuous creative improvement.

What we're looking for: 

• Experience creating social-first content for brands, agencies, or digital platforms
• Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram, and short-form video culture
• Ability to turn ideas into visually engaging, platform-native content
• Strong creative instincts with an eye for detail and storytelling
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

• Basic production and editing skills (video editing, content tools, etc.)
• Strong communication and ability to respond to creative feedback
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working across disciplines
• Passion for content that feels culturally relevant and native to social platforms
