Job description

🌊🚀 Who We Are

The Cruise Globe is building the world’s leading digital platform for cruise travellers.

Founded by a Geographer, a Naval Architect, and one of the cruise industry’s most trusted creators, we started with a simple belief: cruising deserves better digital experiences. We’re building the “Strava for cruises” - a product that lets cruisers see their exact routes and stats, capture and share their journeys, and then plan, book, and track what comes next.

In under nine months, more than 100,000 cruisers joined the platform, with over 500,000 cruises logged — all with zero marketing spend. Today, we’re building the #1 cruise app in the world, and the central digital hub for a global community of over 34 million cruise passengers.

Cruising is the fastest-growing segment in travel, and The Cruise Globe is backed by some of the most respected names in the industry. We have a rare opportunity to define an entirely new category — and we’re looking for ambitious, talented people who want to help shape a product used by millions.

🚀 The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Content Producer to build and run a scalable, video-first content engine across The Cruise Globe and The Cruise Maps.

Content already works for us, but it is currently reactive and fragmented. This role exists to make content a first-class, well‑run function. You will take ownership of how content is planned, produced, repurposed, organised, and published, with a strong focus on short‑form video for organic and paid social.

This is a genuinely hands‑on role. You will personally shoot, edit, and publish much of our day‑to‑day content, while also knowing when to manage higher‑production shoots with external partners. You will work closely with the founders, our product team, and external marketing agencies to ensure there is always a strong flow of fresh, effective creative.

A major advantage of this role is close collaboration with Emma Cruises, one of the largest and most trusted cruise creators in the world. You will help translate deep creator intuition and audience insight into scalable, high-performing content across platforms.

Success in this role is measured by:

• A consistent and reliable pipeline of video‑first content
• Much better use of founder‑led content and existing UGC
• Smarter repurposing across organic and paid channels
• Faster creative iteration informed by performance and results

This role has significant room for growth. Someone exceptional could progress into a Head of Content or Head of Creative role as the company scales.

This role is for someone who:

• Loves making content and improving how content gets made
• Enjoys filming, editing, iterating, and learning fast
• Thinks about efficiency and leverage, not just output
• Is excited to grow into a much larger role over time

🧭 What You’ll Be Doing

Produce and Publish Video-First Content

• Personally shoot and edit short‑form video content for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and paid social
• Capture founder‑led and team‑led content efficiently using lightweight setups
• Publish and schedule content in a thoughtful, algorithm‑aware way
• Maintain a steady cadence of output without sacrificing quality or speed

Build a Scalable Content Pipeline

• Plan content in advance rather than reacting week to week
• Design content with repurposing in mind from the start
• Turn a small number of core assets into multiple formats and variants
• Use AI and modern tools to accelerate production and reduce manual effort

Leverage and Organise Community Content

• Organise and curate the large volume of inbound UGC we already receive
• Edit and repurpose community and creator content into platform‑native formats
• Maintain a structured and searchable content library
• Ensure valuable content does not get lost or under‑used

Improve Creative Through Iteration

• Track how content performs and feed insights back into future creative
• Work closely with external paid media partners to supply effective creative at scale
• Continuously test hooks, formats, and storytelling approaches
• Use performance feedback to refine direction without over‑engineering

Lead on Larger Creative Projects When Needed

• Help plan and brief higher‑production photo or video shoots
• Manage external photographers or videographers where appropriate
• Ensure outputs fit within the wider content system and brand direction

Requirements

🧠 Core Requirements

• Strong hands‑on experience producing short‑form video content
• Confident shooting and editing content yourself
• Excellent graphic design and video editing skills
• Clear understanding of how TikTok, Instagram, and similar platforms work
• Ability to think in content systems rather than one‑off posts
• Comfortable publishing and scheduling content, not just creating it
• Strong content taste and attention to detail
• Data‑aware and comfortable iterating creative based on performance
• Highly organised with disciplined asset and file management
• Comfortable in a startup environment with pace and ambiguity
• AI‑fluent and actively uses tools to increase output and efficiency
• A natural on‑set presence who can help people feel comfortable and authentic on camera

🌍 Nice to Have

• Experience working with paid social creative
• Previous experience supporting or leading photoshoots
• Exposure to creator‑led or UGC‑heavy brands
• Interest in travel or cruising
• Background in startups, agencies, or fast‑moving consumer brands

Benefits

🎁 Why Join Us?

• Hands‑On Impact: You will own content end to end, not just contribute assets
• Founder Collaboration: Work closely with founders who actively participate in content
• Creator Advantage: Partner directly with one of the world’s leading cruise creators
• Rapid Progression: Exceptional performance can lead to Head of Content or Creative
• Creative Leverage: A strong community and large volume of inbound UGC from day one
• Travel Opportunities: Opportunity to join founders on cruise ships for content creation
• Flexible Working: Hybrid setup with 1–2 days per week in our London office
• Holiday & Benefits: 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and pension scheme
