Job description

Overview

You\'ll help brainstorm, film and publish short-form videos that tap into the conversations people are already having—from entertainment and lifestyle to news and culture. This is a hands-on, creative role where no two days are the same. You don\'t need to be an expert editor; you just need a sharp eye, strong instincts and a genuine love for storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Pitch and produce short-form video ideas that feel timely, relevant and scroll-stopping with our in-house talent.
• Film and edit videos using your phone, keeping everything fast, authentic and platform-ready.
• Write simple, engaging captions and on-screen headlines that tell the story clearly.
• Spot trends, sounds and formats that could inspire future videos.
• Support journalists with filming, interviews and day-to-day content capture.
• Publish videos directly to TikTok and Instagram, ensuring posts are accurate and on-brand.
• Keep an eye on performance and audience feedback to see what\'s resonating.

Team & Culture

• Social-native: Chronically online and fluent in internet culture — you know your GK Barry from your Sophia Smith Galer.
• News-curious: You love following what\'s happening in the world and spotting the human stories behind headlines.
• Creative: You\'ve got ideas for how to tell stories visually, and you\'re not afraid to try new things.
• Adaptable: You\'re comfortable filming on the go and working with quick turnarounds.
• Collaborative: You enjoy being part of a tight, supportive team where everyone chips in.
• Eager to grow: You want to develop your skills in content creation, production and social storytelling.

Why join us

• Creative freedom: A role where your ideas and instincts matter.
• Hands-on experience: Learn how to make social-first stories for some of the biggest platforms in the world.
• Small team, big ambition: Space to experiment, learn and grow as the team expands.
• Real impact: The videos you make will reach millions and help shape how audiences see The Sun online.
