We’re building a small, ambitious team that’s shaping what modern social journalism looks like – quick-thinking, personality-driven, and culturally fluent. Our goal is to tell stories that live and breathe where audiences already are: on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond.

Your role: We’re looking for a Junior Social Video Producer who’s curious, confident on their phone camera, and has their finger firmly on the pulse of what’s trending online.

You’ll help brainstorm, film, edit and publish short-form videos that tap into the conversations people are already having – from entertainment and lifestyle to news and culture.

• Spot trends, sounds and formats that could inspire future videos.
• Support journalists with filming, interviews and day-to-day content capture.
• Publish videos directly to TikTok and Instagram, ensuring posts are accurate and on-brand.
• Keep an eye on performance and audience feedback to see what’s resonating.
• Collaborate closely with journalists and producers across the newsroom to shape ideas.

What we’re looking for from you

• Social-native: Chronically online and fluent in internet culture – you know your GK Barry from your Sophia Smith Galer.
• News-curious: You love following what’s happening in the world and spotting the human stories behind headlines.
• Creative: You’ve got ideas for how to tell stories visually, and you’re not afraid to try new things.
• Adaptable: You’re comfortable filming on the go and working with quick turnarounds.
• Collaborative: You enjoy being part of a tight, supportive team where everyone chips in.
• Eager to grow: You want to develop your skills in content creation, production and social storytelling.
• Creative freedom: A role where your ideas and instincts matter.
• Hands-on experience: Learn how to make social-first stories for some of the biggest platforms in the world.
• Small team, big ambition: Space to experiment, learn and grow as the team expands.
