Junior Social Producer (Video-First)
Location: Hybrid / Wapping, London 2 days a week in office and 3 days wfh
Team: Creative Studio
The Role
We’re looking for a culturally switched‑on Junior Social Producer with strong video instincts.
You’ll create everything from polished, brand‑level video edits to reactive 7‑second TikTok cuts that stop the scroll. You understand the difference between crafted campaign content and lo‑fi native social — and you know when to use both.
This is a hands‑on role for someone who lives and breathes social platforms, thrives in fast‑paced environments, and wants to grow into a fully‑fledged Social Producer.
What You’ll Be Doing
Content Creation & Editing
* Edit polished social video assets (trailers, sizzles, cutdowns, branded edits)
* Create reactive, platform‑native edits (TikTok, Reels, Shorts – 5–15 seconds)
* Reformat long‑form content into snackable social moments
* Add captions, graphics, subtitles and motion elements optimised for mobile
* Ensure all output meets brand and broadcast‑quality standards where required
* Support the edit team with project setup, media organisation and edit breakdowns
* Finish and deliver approved edits, ensuring assets are prepared to spec
Social Execution
* Assist with day‑to‑day publishing across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook
* Write engaging social copy in brand tone of voice
* Help plan and schedule content aligned to platform best practice
* Support reactive content moments tied to pop culture, TV, film and gaming
* Monitor trends and suggest timely creative ideas
Production Support
* Assist on shoots (studio or on‑location)
* Source media assets and manage edit selects
* Help with content delivery across international markets
* Track content performance via platform analytics tools
What We’re Looking For
Experience
* 1–3 years in a social, digital or content role
* Strong video editing skills (Premiere Pro essential; After Effects a plus)
* Experience creating both polished campaign edits and quick‑turn social cuts
* Understanding of TikTok, Reels and Shorts pacing and storytelling
* Experience working across multiple social platforms
Creative Skills
* Can hook an audience in 2 seconds
* Understands fandom culture, pop culture and social humour
* Knows how to balance brand safety with cultural relevance
* Writes sharp, concise copy
* Obsessed with what makes content shareable
Personal Qualities
* Organised and detail‑oriented
* Thrives under tight deadlines
* Proactive and solution‑focused
* Calm under pressure
* Collaborative and communicative
* Genuinely excited about TV, entertainment, gaming and social culture
You Understand
* The difference between a premium YouTube cut and a lo‑fi TikTok trend edit
* The difference between a meme‑native reactive post
* How algorithms reward watch time, completion rate and engagement
* When content should feel slick vs when it should feel native and scrappy
* That subtitles are not optional
* That the first 2 seconds matter more than the last 20
Bonus If You Have
* Motion graphics skills
* Experience in entertainment, TV, film or gaming brands
* Experience pulling performance data into insights
