Head of Films in City of London

Wiser is an award‑winning Employer Branding agency on a mission to change the way people think about work. We build employer brands to attract amazing people and guide them into their dream career. Wiser is a home for people who dream big and expect more; an environment where creative and recruitment meet to build and transform employer brands. Our creatives innovate with design, web, film and marketing to capture what makes companies great. Our recruitment teams introduce the right people to set these companies apart. We believe that people will do their best work and thrive in life when they’re in an environment that enables it. And that’s what we’ve created at Wiser – a culture where everyone can be real and back themselves, surrounded by high performers who love to take ownership and make moves, no matter what their background. Inclusion is at the heart of what we do for our clients and how we are building the world of Wiser.

As our Head of Films, you’ll lead the team that creates video magic for our clients. We have an 8‑person team of videographers, photographers, editors, animators, content creators and producers who create end‑to‑end video productions for clients such as On, Frasers Group, Sky, L’Oreal, Kraft Heinz, Worldpay, McCain, Comcast and many more. They’re a talented bunch, and need a leader who adequately inspires them, levels up their creative thinking, and who keeps them motivated when energy runs low on a two‑week shoot. Films are a massive part of the Wiser identity, so this role will be central to our creative offering. We have big growth plans (in team size, revenue and creative ideas) and we’re excited to find the person who’ll help us get there.
