Capital&Centric aren't your typical property developer. We don't do beige. We don't do boring. We take unloved buildings and forgotten spaces and turn them into jaw-dropping places to live, work and hang out, with social impact, community, placemaking and outstanding design baked in from day one. We're behind some of the UK's most talked-about regeneration projects, think Kampus and Piccadilly East in Manchester, Goods Yard in Stoke, Weir Mill in Stockport and The Littlewoods Project in Liverpool (we could go on...).
Our projects include a mix of residential, workspace, hotels, leisure and mixed-use neighbourhoods. We've got several live construction sites and loads more exciting regeneration projects in the pipeline. You've probably seen us on the telly too, starring in BBC2 and Channel 4 prime-time shows. In 2024, we launched Ollo, our own residential brand giving renters something way better than the usual soulless box.
We're also the founders of Regeneration Brainery, our not-for-profit that's opening up careers in property to the next generation, over 6,000 young people and counting. And if that's not enough, we co-founded Embassy Village, a first-of-its-kind community for people experiencing homelessness. Now, we're looking for a Creative Content Creator to help bring more of our work to life.
This isn't a sit-back-and-schedule kind of role. You'll often be out on sites, in the middle of the action - filming, editing, snapping, posting and staying ahead of visual trends. One day you might be interviewing a resident, the next touring a building, or creating short, business-led video content. You'll be as comfortable behind the camera as you are in front of it. And most importantly, you'll know how to make content people actually care about.
ABOUT THE JOB
Content Creation
* Plan, script, film and edit content across social, web and digital channels – more often than not, on a phone
* Create high-quality, high-impact short-form video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) that grabs attention fast
* Capture stills and photography that bring our places to life. Ideally, you'd be comfortable with – or willing to learn how – to use a drone
* Get stuck into everything from interviews and site tours to campaign shoots and reactive content
* Be the face (and voice) of content when needed - confident, natural and engaging on camera
Social & Digital
* Manage day-to-day social channels (posting, scheduling, DMs, comments) across multiple accounts
* Build and maintain content calendars that keep everything flowing
* Spot trends early, stay ahead of them and jump on execution - adapting visual content in a way that feels unmistakably us
* Contribute content across other digital channels including web, email and campaigns
* Bring fresh ideas to the table – often, the bolder the better
* Work closely with the wider marketing and design team to deliver content for campaigns
On Site & In The Mix
* Travel to our developments to capture content in real life (not just behind a desk)
* Get involved in events, launches and consultations - and capture it all as you go
Insight & Performance
* Track engagement, sentiment and growth across channels
* Test, learn and optimise content quickly
* Keep an eye on competitors and trends to stay one step ahead
ABOUT YOU
We're not hung up on a perfect CV. You might be a recent grad; you might have some years under your belt. What matters most is your creativity, your attitude, and your ability to make brilliant content.
* You're a natural content creator - always filming, editing, experimenting
* Confident on camera and comfortable putting yourself out there
* Strong video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut or similar)
* Solid understanding of social platforms and what works on each
* A great eye for imagery, composition and aesthetics
* Comfortable shooting on mobile, and ideally experienced with cameras, SLR or even drone
* You've run (or helped run) social accounts before
* You're proactive, curious and always looking to improve
* You're as happy mucking in on site as you are editing at your desk
Most importantly, you're keen to learn, try new things and push yourself.
