SENIOR CONTENT CREATOR (BARCLAYS)

LONDON, UK (Hybrid Working - 3 days in the office per week)

A benchmarked salary between £43,000 to £48,000 based on your level within our progression framework.

WHO WE ARE

We are Born Social, a social-first creative agency that brings brand building into the social era. We have a track record of delivering transformation for iconic brands like Guinness, Ford, and Barclays, led by our team of social natives and brand experts, underpinned by technology.

Backed by the strength of a brilliant business that's proudly B-Corp certified, we're consistently recognised as one of the best places to work.

We're looking for a Senior Content Creator to join Born Social and lead best-in‑class social-first content delivery across one of the world’s most iconic financial brands: Barclays.

This is a hands‑on creative leadership role for someone who lives and breathes platform‑native content, is confident leading shoots end‑to‑end, and is comfortable featuring on camera when required. You’ll take ownership of delivery, proactively contribute to account growth and new business, and play a key role in building long-lasting client relationships.

A genuine interest in finance and financial services is a big plus for this role. On Barclays, you’ll be working on a brand with huge reach, responsibility, and creative opportunity - helping shape how finance shows up in culture.

You’ll also leverage the Born Creator Community (BCC) to scale content production, tap into a thriving network of creators, and deliver work efficiently without sacrificing quality.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• You’ll be owning the end‑to‑end delivery of social‑first content, from pre‑production through to shooting and editing, making sure everything you create hits a high creative standard.
• You’ll be leading how we use the Born Creator Community, briefing external creators and scaling content in smart, efficient ways without losing quality.
• You’ll be comfortable featuring in content when needed, helping ideas land in a way that feels natural, credible and platform‑native.
• You’ll be constantly pushing creative ambition, experimenting with new formats, tools and production techniques to keep our work fresh, relevant and effective.
• You’ll be playing an active role in growing the Barclays account by bringing strong ideas, spotting opportunities and helping turn creative into commercial impact.
• You’ll be building trusted client relationships through clear communication, confidence in your craft and a collaborative mindset.
• You’ll be helping to develop other in‑house content creators, sharing knowledge, giving feedback and raising the bar across the wider team.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• You've got strong experience creating social‑first content, understanding what great looks like across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond.
• You're confident leading shoots, directing talent, and owning post‑production, and you’re comfortable stepping on camera when the work calls for it.
• You have a strong creative point of view, excellent attention to detail, and a genuine curiosity for what’s next in content.
• You've got an interest in finance, banking, fintech or financial culture (a big plus for this role, given the nature of the brand).
• You're a natural collaborator and mentor who enjoys developing people and pushing creative standards higher.
