Location: London, UK / Amsterdam, Netherlands / Dubai, UAE
Reports To: Digital Product & Growth Manager
Employment Type: Part Time (32 - 40 hours)
Salary: £35-£42 FTE (Pro-rated from 40 hours)
The Digital Content Producer is responsible for shaping and elevating the visual storytelling of Sanctum, translating the brand’s identity, energy and philosophy into distinctive, culturally relevant and visually compelling content. The role will also support the development of Luuk’s personal brand, creating content that reflects his perspective, ideas and work while complementing Sanctum’s wider brand positioning.
This is a creatively led, hands-on role for someone with exceptional taste, a sophisticated visual eye and a deep understanding of contemporary culture. We are looking for someone who is as interested in art direction, music, fashion, design and emerging cultural movements as they are in social media, and who can draw inspiration from these worlds to create content that feels original, elevated and unmistakably Sanctum.
Working across Sanctum’s extensive library of photography, video and creative assets, the role will transform existing material into emotionally compelling stories through exceptional editing, pacing, composition, typography, colour and sound design. It will also involve capturing experiences in real time, developing original concepts and collaborating with photographers, videographers, designers and creators across markets.
This is not a role for someone who simply executes briefs or follows trends. We are looking for a proactive creative who brings references, ideas and a distinctive point of view into the business, challenges conventions and relentlessly pursues a higher standard of creative output.
The role combines creative vision with hands-on production, ensuring that everything we publish builds a recognisable, culturally relevant brand while creating a consistent pipeline of high-quality content across organic and paid channels.
