About the Role

Casting Editor: Our Creative Studio team is looking for a Casting Editor to shape the talent behind our world-class storytelling across every visual platform. This role is a fixed-term contract until December 2026.

As Casting Editor, you’ll lead the casting strategy for Harrods’ diverse content channels and high-profile brand events, ensuring every talent choice reflects our brand identity and resonates with our audiences.

The working pattern for this role is Monday-Friday; however, we are looking for someone who can be flexible.

Depending on your role, you may be fully on-site or have a mix of on-site and home working – this is what we refer to as ‘Hybrid’. Our hybrid working policy allows colleagues to work from home for part of the week, with a minimum of three days on-site, depending on business needs.
