What the job involves

• We're looking for a rare breed of creative: a Director & Editor who can seamlessly move between high-end storytelling and fast-moving social content.
• One day you might be directing creators on set, capturing content for a global brand campaign. The next, you're in the edit suite crafting a thumb-stopping social cut, shaping an award entry, or bringing a cinematic brand film to life.
• This is a hands-on creative role for someone who loves making things. You'll own projects from concept through delivery, combining strong creative instincts with exceptional technical craft across directing, shooting, editing, and post-production.
• Working closely with our Creative Director and Senior Production Lead, you'll help elevate every piece of content we produce—whether it's creator-led social content, branded entertainment, campaign films, case studies, or award-winning creative work.
• If you're obsessed with storytelling, culture, social trends, and creating work that people actually want to watch, we'd love to hear from you.
• Lead content productions from pre-production through final delivery.
• Direct creators, talent, and contributors on set, helping capture authentic and engaging performances.
• Self-shoot content ranging from creator-led social videos and Vox Pops to premium branded productions.
• Build shot lists, manage lighting setups, capture location audio, and ensure production quality remains high regardless of budget.
• Edit content across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, award entries, brand films, case studies, and beyond.
• Own pacing, narrative structure, colour grading, sound design, and motion graphics elements.
• Create platform-native content that feels culturally relevant while delivering measurable performance.
• Produce mood films, sizzle reels, wrap films, and creative presentations that bring ideas to life.
• Stay at the forefront of creator culture, platform trends, emerging formats, and audience behaviour.
• Bring fresh creative ideas, storytelling approaches, and editing techniques into every project.
• Partner with creative, production, and client teams to turn ambitious ideas into achievable executions.
• Contribute thought leadership and insights around the creator economy and social storytelling.
• Collaborate with producers to scope projects, budgets, crews, schedules, and resources.
• Help source and manage freelance directors, editors, cinematographers, animators, and production specialists.
• Maintain relationships with key production partners, studios, rental houses, and post-production vendors.
• Champion efficient workflows and best practices across the editing and production process.
