TAKK is an opinionated company.
We think that 200 shampoos on a supermarket shelf is insanity. We think that an industry calling itself ‘beauty’, whilst manipulatively marketing muck-loads of unnecessary products (including to children), is about as ugly as it gets.
Aaaand we think that environmental responsibility should be table stakes, a bare minimum, for companies wanting to operate in the market place; not a luxurious fashion item for rich-people-jazz-hands.
But we’re not just talk and opinions. We’re actually working to fix things.
TAKK makes nature-positive personal care essentials. Produced sustainably, marketed ethically and all while taking responsibility for our impact. We have an intentionally minimal, yet functional product range where everything does exactly what it needs to.

The role.
We’re looking for someone to help us with creative production. We’ve got plenty to say and lots of projects we want to share with the world but we need some help in getting these pieces made and out the door.
Being a small team, a somewhat generalist skillset would fit well. We are used to rolling up our sleeves and getting stuck in whether or not we quiiiiite know exactly what we're doing at the start () so an attitude of curiosity and a keenness to learn are essential. We also work very flexibly and independently so someone that has the ability and confidence to take an idea from conception through to publish themselves without depending on too much input from others each time would be a great fit.
TAKK has in-house production capabilities already so you would be well supported in this role. We would value an ability to execute and get things done but we are realistic: we're not expecting you to be a one-person agency. We'll support your development in the team however we can.
️ Skills we need:
Video editing – conversations: taking a longer form piece, identifying the really potent sections and then clipping into crisp and tight social media bits.
Social media paid ads: Assembling video and static ads across multiple formats plus making regular updates and tweaks based on performance marketing teams’ feedback and needs.
Visual taste: You need to have a good eye for aesthetic minimalism. it’s essential for us that you appreciate and are able to maintain a high standard of beautiful design across your work.
Shoots: We need you to be keen and enthusiastic about in-house shooting for ads and organic socials. This would likely include a combination of filming, shoot assisting and sometimes being talent yourself.
Helpful bonus abilities:
– Graphic design
– Copywriting
– Copy editing
– Photography
– Videography
– Photo editing
– Animation
– Research and script editing
– Print design
The plan.
This is a contract, part-time position of approximately 15-20 hours per week at £20 per hour.
We are keen for you to start as soon as you are available.
TAKK is a flexible, work-from-anywhere company and you will be able to complete a lot of this work fully remotely, however as our media content is primarily shot in Edinburgh we are looking for someone that is either Edinburgh based or lives within a practically commutable distance.
️ Important to note.
While we have listed a bunch of skills above that would be super useful for us, we always choose to focus on the human over the task. If you feel you strongly align with TAKK’s mission and believe you have something valuable to contribute but think you fall short in certain skills; please do still reach out.
We always love to talk to like minded people and TAKK has big plans for the future.
Research shows that men tend to apply for a role even if they think they only meet 60% of the requirements. So please, anyone that feels they meet 60% of the requirements, we explicitly invite you to apply :))
You must have a current and legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered.
There is no official closing date, we will assess applications as they arrive and will fill the position as soon as we find our person.
How to apply.
Please apply via Linked In by completing the following two steps:
1. A casual, written note about some things you’ve done in the past that would demonstrate you might be great in this position (less than 500 words please) with links to show us some of those things. Formalities not required, just write to us in your own voice.
2. Please upload a 2-5 minute video describing what intrigued you about TAKK orthis role and something interesting but random and completely unrelated you recently learned.
