Job description

Company Description

We are Saatchi & Saatchi – a full service, integrated communications network with 114 offices in 67 countries and our headquarters in London. Saatchi & Saatchi is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world’s third‑largest communications group.

Founded in 1970, we operate under the philosophy that “Nothing is Impossible.” It guides our audacity and drives our culture: Chutzpah – the quality of daring belief that lets us try the impossible.

Our Commitment

Diversity and inclusion are core to our DNA at Publicis UK. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates, and supports a wonderfully diverse employee group – irrespective of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or ethnicity. Diversity fuels our creativity and innovation, enabling us to connect more authentically with people and audiences.

Overview

We’re on the hunt for an energetic, proactive, and deeply social‑obsessed Content Creator who lives and breathes culture, trends, and platform‑native storytelling. You don’t simply use TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts and Meta; you understand why content works and how to make it stop the scroll.

From fast‑turnaround phone‑shot reactive content to polished, premium social films, you can ideate, shoot, direct and edit end‑to‑end. You’re comfortable doing it all, bringing creativity, curiosity, and innovation to every brief – and you know how to clearly communicate what makes great content great.

Responsibilities

• Create high‑performing, social‑native content across platforms, spotting trends, formats and cultural moments that drive engagement
• Ideate independently or collaboratively with creatives, strategists and producers
• Shoot, direct and edit content using both phone and premium camera workflows depending on the idea
• Develop concepts grounded in platform behaviour and visual language, tailored to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and emerging channels
• Lead agile productions – from self‑shot creator setups to mid‑scale influencer‑style shoots
• Collaborate with influencer talent and enhance supplied content in post‑production when needed
• Edit at speed, delivering platform‑specific cutdowns, versions and optimised assets
• Stay ahead of emerging trends, tools and formats – especially GenAI and creator tech – and proactively bring ideas to the team
• Keep clear feedback loops with producers and internal teams to ensure smooth delivery and quality control

Qualifications

• Experience creating social‑first content for brands, agencies, production companies or your own channel
• A strong, demonstrable portfolio showcasing native social storytelling and high‑engagement work
• Excellent phone‑shot skills plus confidence with premium camera workflows (e.g. Sony FX3, Canon R5)
• Solid knowledge of basic lighting and sound setups
• Highly proficient in editing (Premiere, CapCut or similar), with sharp instincts for pacing, text, transitions and sound
• Strong understanding of social performance metrics and best‑practice optimisation
• Ability to juggle multiple projects and turn around content quickly without losing attention to detail
• Experience developing creative ideas, decks or storyboards (Google Suite preferred)
• A collaborative, positive mindset and willingness to flex across production roles

Additional Information

Saatchi & Saatchi offers fantastic benefits to all employees. In addition to the classics – Pension, Life Assurance, Private Medical and Income Protection Plans – we also offer:

• WORK YOUR WORLD – opportunity to work anywhere in the Publicis office network for up to 6 weeks a year
