Senior Content Creator & Social Strategist

Are you the person who can spot a social trend before everyone else jumps on it- and knows exactly how to turn it into content people actually want to watch?

I’m working with a growing digital lifestyle publisher looking for a Senior Content Creator & Social Strategist to take a leading role across its social channels.

This is not a behind-the-scenes social media role. You’ll be creating content from start to finish- coming up with ideas, scripting, filming, editing and publishing- while also regularly getting in front of the camera yourself.

We’re looking for someone who understands what makes content take off organically, has a strong grasp of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts, and can back their creative instincts with data.

What you’ll be doing

• Create engaging social content from concept through to publishing

• Regularly appear on camera, presenting content and interviewing guests

• Concept, script, shoot and edit short-form video

• Develop content specifically for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

• Help shape and execute the wider organic social strategy

• Identify trends, cultural moments and emerging formats quickly

• Use performance data including watch time, retention, shares and engagement to continually improve content

• Develop ideas designed to drive organic audience and community growth

• Create both editorial and commercial social content, ensuring paid partnerships still feel natural and engaging

• Work directly from commercial briefs and deliver polished content against client objectives

• Coordinate interviews and collaborate with creators and external partners

• Work closely with wider creative and commercial teams on campaigns and content opportunities

• Attend shoots, events and other content opportunities across London

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years’ experience within social media and content creation

• A proven track record of growing brand social channels organically

• Strong examples of social content that has delivered meaningful reach and engagement

• A confident, natural and engaging on-camera presence

• Experience creating content for TikTok and Instagram, with an understanding of YouTube Shorts

• Strong filming and video editing skills using CapCut, Premiere Pro, InShot or similar

• A genuine understanding of why content performs, rather than simply following trends

• Experience using social analytics to shape content decisions

• Experience creating content against commercial/client briefs

• Strong interviewing skills and experience working with creators, talent or influencer partnerships

• A sharp eye for trends and the ability to move quickly when opportunities arise

• Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on content creation

The opportunity

This is ideal for someone who wants more than a traditional social media management position.

You’ll have the opportunity to become a recognisable part of the content itself, while also having genuine influence over social strategy, creative direction and audience growth.

If you’re equally excited by being on camera, creating brilliant content and figuring out what makes it perform, I’d love to hear from you.

Please apply with your CV and links to your social/content portfolio, including examples of your on-camera work.
