You will be embedded at the heart of the action in Westminster , working in our political team to ensure The Sun remains the fastest and most engaging voice in British politics. While primarily based in Parliament, you will also collaborate with the wider newsroom at our London Bridge headquarters.
Your role: As a key member of our social video team, you will bridge the gap between hard-hitting political journalism and viral digital content. You won't just be recording clips; you will be conceptualising and executing a visual strategy that wins on every platform.

Trend Mastery: Maintaining an acute awareness of real-time social trends, trending sounds, and the cultural zeitgeist to keep our coverage ahead of the competition.
Strategic Growth: Using social media analytics (engagement, views, completion rates) to optimise content for platform algorithms and guide future strategy.
Talent Collaboration: Sourcing and collaborating with on-screen talent to create unique, personality-driven political content.
Technical Management: Managing the placement and timing of content across various CMS platforms, ensuring all technical requirements (aspect ratios, metadata, thumbnails) are met.
What we're looking for from you:
We are looking for a self-starter who thrives under the pressure of a busy newsroom and has a "notebook full of ideas".
Professional Experience: At least 2+ years working as a Video Producer or Video Journalist in a fast-paced digital news or entertainment environment.
Technical Proficiency: Expert-level editing skills in Adobe Premiere and experience with filming, lighting, and sound.
Editorial Judgement: A deep understanding of the IPSO Code of Conduct, media law, and ethical considerations.
Political Insight: A strong knowledge of UK politics and current affairs.
Digital Savvy: Proven knowledge of social media, SEO, online publishing, and content monetisation.
Speed & Accuracy: The ability to source high-quality third-party footage and UGC to break news faster than our competitors without sacrificing rigorous accuracy.
