Job Description
Location:
London, GB
Condé Nast is a global media company, home to iconic brands including Vogue, GQ, Glamour, CN Traveller, Vanity Fair, Wired, The World of Interiors, House & Garden and Tatler, among many others.
We are headquartered in New York and London and operate in 32 markets worldwide, with a footprint of more than 1 billion consumers across print, digital, video and social platforms.
Condé Nast thrives on collaboration, and our teams come together in the office four days a week (Monday - Thursday).
We value diversity of background, views and cultures. We celebrate people for their personal qualities, skills and contributions, recognising the power our brands have to influence and shape culture.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Social Producer to join British GQ .
British GQ is looking for a creative strategist and content producer to lead the evolution of our short-form video content across TikTok, Instagram and emerging platforms. This role combines hands-on social media management with creative video execution, bridging data and intuition to expand reach, relevance, and resonance.
You’ll be at the forefront of British GQ’s strategy to elevate its presence across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and beyond, ensuring content is innovative, engaging and aligned with the brand’s editorial vision.
This role will manage a Social Video Producer and collaborate closely with editorial, audience development and talent teams to develop and execute social-first videos that feel editorially premium but are natively built for the algorithm. This role requires sharp creative instincts, a strong visual sensibility, and an equally strong ability to analyse performance data, optimise output and evolve content strategy in real time.
What will you be doing?
* Collaborate with the audience development team to develop and evolve British GQ’s short-form video strategy, aiming to expand our digital audiences and foster loyalty across social platforms.
* Produce and oversee daily social video output, including concepting, scripting, shooting, and editing as needed, particularly around major tentpoles and events - GQ Heroes, MOTY, red carpets and global fashion weeks.
* Own and maintain the social video production calendar, balancing content flow with broader editorial and tentpole priorities.
* Partner with commercial and branded teams to execute sponsored content that feels platform-native and editorially authentic.
* Liaise with talent reps and publicists for social-forward opportunities tied to GQ’s wider coverage.
* Support the social team with copywriting and posting, focusing on traffic, engagement, timing and platform-specific formats.
* Identify key trends in social and video performance across owned and operated (O&O) platforms.
* Work with editorial and audience teams to turn engagement data into content strategy and trend-led ideas.
* Lead the development of original short-form video franchises in British GQ’s style and be a hands-on shooter-editor when needed.
About you
* Extensive experience in social-first video production and/or audience growth strategy, ideally in a fashion, culture or media environment.
* Proven track record of growing and engaging audiences on TikTok and Instagram.
* Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects), CapCut and in-app platform editing tools.
* Experience producing across a range of formats - from reactive trend content to visually polished branded work.
* Strong editorial instinct with the ability to think visually and communicate ideas through motion.
* Comfortable directing talent, working red carpets, and covering live events with quick turnarounds.
* Deep understanding of platform-specific video optimisation and best practices.
* Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines, collaborators, and creative visions.
