What you'll be doing
Reporting to the Editor in Chief (Video & Social Media, Music), you’ll transform our brands' approach to social media. Working with the Content Director, the editorial teams of our magazines and websites, and plugged in to our Social Media team, you’ll help develop and deliver social media strategies and grow and engage audiences for our world-leading music brands.
You’ll shoot, edit and deliver social-first content across a variety of platforms, ensuring it meets brand guidelines and supports commercial opportunities. You’ll maximise the potential of every story using social media, exploring new storytelling formats, and shooting, editing and distributing video.
As a music fan and a musician, you’ll help build communities using social media. You’ll create and edit video, craft engaging posts, amplify content, reply to comments, listen to feedback, and move our relationship with the audience from a broadcast model to a more organic and responsive one.
Work with print and online teams to produce top-quality written, graphic and video content for multiple brands – both lifestyle and music-making – to be distributed across our social media channels.
You’ll manage YouTube and all social channels, working with the Social Media team to establish best practices and ensure all content has a social media angle.
You’ll be creating and assisting with YouTube thumbnails, Instagram carousel posts, engagement graphics, vertical video edits (for YouTube Shorts, Instagram and TikTok). You’ll write punchy copy for descriptions, create video titles, and communicate with the audience in a language they recognise, understanding the differing needs of a ‘music-making’ audience versus a music-listening one.

* An insightful understanding of the world of music, with proficient music-making experience — an understanding of gear terminology, musical technique and history, and a wide-ranging taste in music to connect with communities around our brands.
* As a music-fan and musician, an innate understanding of the differences in the music tribes we majorly feature (modern rock, alternative, progressive and classic rock) and understanding of artists, instruments and content that will crossover.
* A love of content and storytelling and the ability to switch gears between brands and content types, publishing a mix of entertainment, news, gear and technique content.
