Creator Development Lead in London

The story we've been telling ourselves about the country we live in has got stuck – on grievance, resentment and a nostalgia for a Britain that never really existed. Dear Britain is building a community of creators to change that – by telling a fuller, funnier, more inclusive and more honest story about the country we live in today. We work with creators making content people genuinely want to watch, share and talk about. We care about creativity. We obsess over what travels. We experiment, learn fast and back talent. We believe creator networks shape culture and we want to build one with real impact.

About the role

This role is part talent scout, part creative coach, part community builder. You’ll find, support and develop the next generation of creators in the Dear Britain community – people with real potential who haven’t yet fully found their audience, confidence or creative voice. You’ll spot promising creators early, bring them into the network and help them grow fast – through encouragement, feedback, ideas, challenge and honest creative support. Some people will need hands-on development. Others will just need the right nudge at the right moment. Your instinct will be knowing which is which.

What success looks like:

• Emerging creators growing in confidence, consistency and creative quality
• People feeling energised, supported and stretched by the community around them
• New creators developing clear voices and stronger audience connection
• A healthy pipeline of exciting new talent entering the Dear Britain network
• A creator community people genuinely want to belong to

What you’ll do:

• Scout and recruit emerging creators across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook
• Build meaningful relationships with ~30 developing creators
• Give thoughtful, practical creative feedback that genuinely helps people improve
• Help creators sharpen ideas, shape their voice and understand what resonates with audiences
• Create the rituals, check-ins and moments that make the community feel alive
• Spot potential early and maintain a strong pipeline of emerging talent
• Share platform insight, creative inspiration and encouragement that help creators keep progressing

How to apply:

Please send: Your CV, a short note on why this role interests you – 200 words max, and three creators or contributors you think are underrated right now, with a short – 400 words – explanation of: why they’re interesting, what audience they’re building, and why you think they have potential.

The process will include:

• A 30-minute introductory call
• An interview with a short task shared in advance

Dear Britain is a project of Own The Space – a campaign incubator building communication interventions with the potential to create meaningful change quickly.

Requirements:

• You genuinely enjoy helping people improve and grow
• You know how to give feedback that is specific, useful and motivating
• You understand internet culture and platform behaviour deeply enough to recognise what works
• You make creative spaces feel energising rather than transactional
• You’re organised enough to manage lots of relationships without people feeling forgotten
• You’re proactive, adaptable and comfortable building things without huge amounts of infrastructure
• You care about Britain and want to be part of changing the story – without being preachy about it
