Caters Media Group
Caters Media Group is looking for an experienced Senior Story Producer with outstanding editorial judgement, leadership instincts, and a deep understanding of visual storytelling to help shape, guide, and elevate our real-life content particularly for women aged 18–28.
This is a senior editorial role for someone who not only knows how to produce high-performing, social-first stories, but also understands editorial responsibility, legal risk, and strategy. You will lead by example — identifying gaps in storytelling, skills, and processes, ensuring consistently high standards, and strategically driving the team to deliver content that is compelling, compliant, and culturally relevant.

Leading the discovery, development, and delivery of visually led high-quality real-life stories across social and digital platforms
Taking full editorial ownership of stories from pitch to publication, ensuring accuracy, tone, visual clarity, and audience relevance
Shaping raw footage into strong visual narratives, understanding how images, pacing, and emotion drive engagement on social platforms
Identifying gaps in storytelling quality, editorial judgement, or skills both in your own work and across the team and actively addressing them
Providing clear editorial leadership and constructive feedback to develop producers’ visual and narrative storytelling skills
Ensuring all content meets legal and editorial standards, with a strong working knowledge of defamation and relevant media law, compliance, and contributor care
Acting as a senior point of escalation for sensitive, complex, or high-risk stories, making confident and informed editorial decisions
Writing and overseeing scripts and copy that complement visual storytelling, emotionally engaging, accurate, and platform-appropriate
Using performance data and audience insight to inform editorial decisions and evolve storytelling approaches
Staying ahead of social, cultural, and visual trends and translating them into a clear editorial strategy
Helping shape workflows, best practices, and editorial guidelines to support consistency, quality, and legal safety across the team
We’re Looking For Someone Who
Has senior-level editorial experience and strong storytelling judgement
Has a real understanding of visual storytelling and how stories are built through video, pacing, and emotion
Demonstrates a solid, practical working knowledge of defamation and relevant media law, ideally supported by a media law qualification or formal training
Can confidently identify editorial risks, weaknesses, or gaps and take proactive steps to address them
Thinks strategically about storytelling, not just what works now, but how to evolve formats and narrative approaches over time
Writes and edits with clarity, authority, and empathy
Is comfortable making decisions, setting direction, and guiding a team in a fast-paced environment
Has a strong understanding of Gen Z audiences, particularly women aged 18–27
Skills & Experience
Proven experience in a senior digital, social, or real-life storytelling role
Strong knowledge of editorial guidelines, compliance, and legal considerations, particularly defamation
Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience mentoring and influencing others
Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple stories, priorities, and deadlines
Analytical and reflective — able to assess performance, identify gaps, and drive improvement
A genuine passion for responsible, visually led real-life storytelling
If you’re ready to take a leadership role in shaping high-impact visual storytelling while setting and maintaining rigorous editorial and legal standards, we’d love to hear from you.
