At Energy Systems Catapult we're looking for a Social Media and Content Producer to join our Marketing and Communications team.
Permanent /Full-time preferable (requests for part-time/flexible working arrangements are welcome)
Hybrid - Birmingham city centre office, minimum one day a week
About the job
Want to help shape the story of how the UK builds a cleaner, fairer energy system? And, support the innovative new businesses to launch their products and services to achieve that? We're looking for a curious, organised and creative Social Media and Content Producer to join our Marketing and Communications (MarComms) team at Energy Systems Catapult.
This isn't a "schedule a few posts and go home" role. You'll take complex ideas from the worlds of science, data and R&D and turn them into content people want to stop and watch, read and share. One day you'll be writing a sharp LinkedIn post about a breakthrough clean-tech business, the next you'll be cutting a short video, turning a heavy dataset into a digestible animation, or helping produce our brand-new podcast.
Life in our team
You'll join a friendly, nine person MarComms team who look out for each other, share the load and pull together to hit our deadlines. As a team, we’re super-supportive of each other, and we firmly believe great work comes from a joyful environment. (We’re the noisy always laughing team.)
You'll get support when you need it and plenty of chances to bring your own ideas to the table.
Key Work Activities
Running our social media channels (predominantly LinkedIn) day to day - planning, writing, scheduling (we use Buffer) and keeping an eye on what's working
Staying on top of social media channel updates, key trends, and algorithm changes to ensure we’re delivering the most impressions and engagement opportunities as possible
Writing high-quality content that makes complex energy, science and data topics clear and engaging
Creating graphics and simple designs in Canva and Adobe Creative Suite
Filming and editing video for social and producing short-form content
Overseeing our employee generated content and coaching colleagues to film great video of their own
Leading production of the Built to Scale podcast and its companion video
Editing and publishing pages on our WordPress website
Pulling together our social and content stats for the quarterly department impact report
What credentials are we ideally looking for?
Excellent written communication and content creation skills
Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Naturally curious, with a desire to understand and explain complex topics
Passionate about B2B social media and digital content
Comfortable using analytics and reporting tools to identify insights and trends
Experience with GA4, Power BI or similar analytics platforms (desirable)
Experience creating video content and basic video editing skills (desirable)
Interest in the energy sector; industry experience is a bonus
Experience using WordPress or other CMS platforms (desirable)
Proactive, resourceful and able to find solutions independently
Quick to learn new skills, tools and processes
Positive, flexible, "can-do" attitude with a willingness to test new ideas
A flexible working culture
