ABOUT THE ROLE
As Junior Content Creator, you’ll be hands-on from day one — planning, shooting, and editing your own content for a range of food brands and campaigns.
You’ll be supported by the Head of Creative and our Midweight Content Creator, and provided continued training on how to improve your creative output across lighting and camera work. This role is still, though, highly independent. You'll be expected to manage your own timetable and shoots, think creatively on your feet, and deliver polished social content ready for publication on the brand's social channels.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone who’s hungry to develop their craft, loves storytelling through video, and thrives in a fast-paced creative environment.
