Role Purpose

Mc Laren Racing is seeking a talented Videographer, with strong photography skills, to create world‑class, digital‑first content across our global platforms, supporting our presence in Formula 1 and other racing series.

This role will play a key part in bringing Mc Laren’s stories to life — from racing and innovation to culture and fan communities — through compelling, platform‑native video content.

With a strong focus on race weekends and digital‑first storytelling, particularly through vertical video, you will help shape how millions of fans engage with Mc Laren around the world.

Working closely with Brand, Partnerships, Creative, and the Race Team, you will produce high‑quality video and photographic content across social media, web, app, CRM, and broadcast‑style formats.

Combining creative instinct with audience insight, you will deliver engaging, culturally relevant content that performs across platforms and remains true to the Mc Laren brand.

This role is ideal for a proactive, hands‑on producer who thrives in fast‑paced, high‑performance environments, enjoys regular international travel with an expectation of travelling to most Grand Prix races, and is excited by the opportunity to work within a live sporting environment at the highest level.

  • Work collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders to deliver content efficiently and to a high standard.
  • Edit video and photographic content in a timely and effective manner.
  • Operate effectively in fast‑turnaround environments, balancing creativity with speed, accuracy, and attention to detail.
  • Creative & Editorial
  • Strong storytelling instincts and excellent editorial judgement.
  • Proven experience creating engaging content for digital and social platforms, particularly vertical video formats including Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, and You Tube Shorts, but with an interest in also supporting mid‑form content.
  • Experience producing content for owned digital platforms, including web and app environments.
  • Strong scriptwriting and copywriting skills, with the ability to adapt tone and messaging for different audiences.
  • Experience working within live sport, entertainment, or fast‑paced content environments.
  • Production & Technical
  • Strong understanding of all stages of production, from planning and shoot execution through to delivery.
  • Excellent self‑shooting capability, including camera operation, lighting, sound recording, photography, and gimbal operation.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro.
  • Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects or motion graphics workflows is desirable.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high creative standards.
  • Commercial & Strategic
  • Experience creating branded content that delivers value for commercial partners.
  • Strong understanding of platform analytics and audience insight, with the ability to optimise creative performance using data.
  • Awareness of evolving content trends, fan behaviours, and digital storytelling formats.
  • Collaboration & Communication
  • Experience working with leading athletes, talent, or high‑profile individuals.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with producers, editors, creatives, and cross‑functional teams.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable working under pressure in a fast‑moving environment.

Desirable
