Job description

£30,000 | Full-time | Sawston, Cambridge (hybrid)

We’re looking for a creative, organised Content Creator to join Ombar Chocolate – a fast-growing, ethical chocolate brand on a mission to change what chocolate stands for.

This is a role for someone who lives and breathes short-form video, spots trends early, and can turn them into authentic, on-brand content — not over-polished ads. You’ll be happy being front of house, representing the brand both online and in real life.

About Ombar

Ombar is an ethical chocolate brand on a mission to change what chocolate stands for - from sugar and sameness to rich, radiant chocolate that puts cacao centre stage.

We make chocolate with real ingredients (organic, vegan, all joy, no junk), using unroasted cacao and sourcing directly from farmers we pay above Fairtrade prices. We believe chocolate should taste good and feel good, which is why we are proudly B Corp certified and won Ethical Consumer magazines’ most ethical UK based chocolate of 2025.

We’re a small team based in Sawston, Cambridge, growing fast and landing in exciting new retailers. There’s a lot happening, plenty of creative freedom, and real opportunity to help shape a brand that’s playful, purpose-led and genuinely different.

If you like food, culture and creativity - and want to help build something with big cacao energy - you’ll feel right at home.

The role

You’ll be responsible for creating, managing and delivering content across our channels, with a strong focus on Reels and TikTok.

You’ll:

• Create short-form video content for Instagram Reels and TikTok (this is the priority)
• Spot, interpret and jump on social trends, sounds and formats in a way that feels authentic to Ombar
• Film regularly in our Sawston factory, capturing behind-the-scenes moments and bringing Ombar’s vision to life
• Be comfortable appearing on camera and representing the brand’s tone and personality
• Create content around product launches, campaigns, retailers and events
• Attend sampling events from time to time to capture content and support brand presence
• Own our email marketing (content creation, sending and optimisation)
• Assist on photoshoots (prep, on-set support, BTS capture)
• Support wider marketing needs in a small, fast-moving team
• Lisa with influencers on campaigns and everyday content
• Juggle multiple projects at once (this is a true plate-spinner role)

A day in the life

No two days look the same, but a typical day might include:

• Filming behind-the-scenes content in the factory — pouring chocolate, packing bars, catching candid team moments
• Spotting a Reel or TikTok trend in the morning and turning it into content the same day
• Editing short-form video that feels natural, quick and human
• Jumping on camera to talk through a product, flavour or what’s happening at Ombar
• Planning content around an upcoming launch or retailer moment
• Writing and sending a brand email
• Prepping content for an event or photoshoot, or capturing footage on the day

If you love variety, autonomy and seeing your content out in the world quickly, you’ll thrive here.

About you

• A digital native with Reels, TikTok and short-form content
• Naturally tuned into trends, memes and internet culture
• Able to create content that feels real, human and not overly produced
• Confident, friendly and comfortable being the face of the brand
• Organised, proactive and happy managing lots of moving parts
• Excited by working in a small brand with big ambition

Bonus points

• Photography skills (product, lifestyle or BTS)
• Experience designing social content (simple layouts, text-led posts, stories)
• Strong video editing skills
• FMCG / food & drink experience would be the cherry on top.

Location & flexibility

• Minimum 1 day per week in the factory/office (for filming), ideally more
• Full-time preferred, but part-time considered for the right person
• Hybrid working supported

The details

• Salary: £30,000 (pro-rata if part-time)
• Contract: Full-time (part-time negotiable)
• Start: ASAP / flexible for the right person

Package

• An extra day off for your birthday 🎂
• Wellness allowance each year to spend on whatever helps you feel good
• Private medical insurance
• 30 days holiday per year (including bank holidays)
• A “day of care” when you need it - for appointments, health check-ups or other wellbeing must-dos
• Free Chocolate
• Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup
• Compassionate leave when life throws something hard your way

We care more about what you’ve made than where you’ve worked — feel free to share your TikTok, Reels or content examples when applying.
