Write interview structures, games, challenges and editorial beats that create engaging, shareable moments. Collaborate closely with editors during post-production, shaping narrative, pacing, thumbnails, titles and overall creative direction. Use performance data to refine formats and continuously improve future content. Stay on top of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and emerging platform trends, bringing new ideas back into the team. What we're looking for... Proven experience producing high-performing YouTube or social-first content that builds engaged audiences. Strong creative instincts with a clear understanding of what drives clicks, watch time and shares. Experience developing original entertainment-led concepts, not just executing briefs.

Experience collaborating with editors to shape engaging final cuts, including thumbnail and headline strategies. Excellent organisational, communication and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple productions simultaneously. Collaborative, proactive and willing to experiment, iterate and test new ideas. Experience producing content for premium publishers, broadcasters, digital publishers or creator-led channels. Experience working with creators, digital-first talent, branded content and commercial partnerships. Familiarity with Adobe Premiere or similar editing software. If you're passionate about creating ambitious, audience-first video that reaches millions of viewers, we'd love to hear from you.
