- A collaborative nature
- An entrepreneurial spirit
- Take pride in their work

ABOUT THE ROLE:
We’re looking for a sharp, socially-savvy Video Content Creator to join the New Business and Marketing team at VCCP. This is a role for a natural storyteller with an eye for visual detail, who knows how to make content that feels right for the platform, not just the brand.
You’ll plan, shoot, edit and deliver native content for VCCP’s owned channels – including LinkedIn, X, Instagram and TikTok. You’ll have a deep understanding of what works where, and why – bringing each channel to life with bespoke creative that reflects the voice and personality
of VCCP.
You’ll be just as comfortable shooting quick-turn, reactive content on your phone as you are editing polished short-form films. You’ll spot cultural moments worth jumping on, experiment with format and tone, and always bring a high level of craft – even when moving fast.
You’ll also collaborate with agencies across the global VCCP family to raise the bar on internal content, ensuring we show up consistently as one creative network.
**Please note: this is not a client-facing creative role. You’ll be part of the New Business department, creating content that promotes VCCP and our partner companies.**
