Job description

Who Are We?

Humanoid exists to build a future where robots work alongside people, not instead of them.

We are Europe's fastest-growing humanoid robotics company, and now Europe's first pure-play humanoid robotics unicorn, having recently raised $152M in Series A funding at a $1.35B valuation, backed by Prime Movers Lab, Bosch, Schaeffler, and Aglaé Ventures. In just over two years we've gone from an idea to a robot in industrial use, HMND 01, with partnerships to manufacture at serious scale. We move fast because the problem is hard and the window is short.

About the Role

We're looking for a Creative Producer to join our creative team as a genuine generalist, filming, editing, and photographing across everything from robot launches and lab footage to social, YouTube, and internal comms. You'll work closely with our Creative Lead, often shooting and editing solo, and you should have a sharp eye, a passion for visual storytelling, and real chops in both production and post.

What You'll Do

• Filming: shoot engaging video content across formats, from short-form social to longer YouTube-style pieces, product launches, and behind-the-scenes at our lab and HQ
• Photography: shoot product, lifestyle, event, and team photography that holds its own against the best design-led tech brands
• Editing: turn raw footage into polished final video, including colour grading, sound design, and light motion graphics
• Creative input: work with Julius and the wider creative team to concept and execute visual stories from idea through to delivery, not just execute a shot list
• Equipment management: operate and maintain our camera and video kit, keeping lighting, framing, and sound at a professional standard on every shoot
• Collaboration: work closely with the design team, product teams, and hardware engineers to make sure content reflects the robot and the company accurately, not just aesthetically
• Content optimisation: cut and format content for the platform it's going to, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and beyond, understanding what actually works on each
• Trend awareness: stay ahead of short-form and platform trends, and bring ideas in rather than waiting for a brief
• Quality control: review your own output for consistency and craft before it ships

What We're Looking For

• Strong portfolio showing both shooting and editing, across short-form and longer-form content
• Experience shooting and editing for YouTube or similar long-form platforms
• Proficient in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
• Solid understanding of camera operation, lighting, and sound recording
• Experience with motion graphics (After Effects or similar) is a strong plus
• Fluent in current short-form and social video trends, and what separates good content from content that actually performs
• Self-motivated, comfortable running a shoot and edit end to end with minimal oversight
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment where priorities and the content calendar can shift in a day
• An interest in or aptitude for tech and robotics content is a strong plus
• Excellent taste, and genuine hunger to make things worth watching, not just things that are finished

What We Offer

• Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
• 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas-NewYear shutdown).
• Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
• Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
• Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
• Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
• Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
