About Us

Social video whizzes, we need you! Metro brings news, sport, entertainment, gaming and everything in between to a fast-growing global audience and we’re now looking for a talented Social Video Producer to join our London team.

You’ll be responsible for pitching, producing and delivering daily and weekly short form video content with a focus on TikTok, Facebook and other key platforms.

You’ll be primarily attached to the Metro Entertainment TikTok page but could be deployed across news, gaming or sport at any moment, so flexibility is key. Ideal candidates will have a great understanding of current affairs, TV, film, Hollywood and pop culture.

You’ll be across reactive news so the ability to edit at speed is a must. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop repeatable, sometimes presenter-led, formats that add value and depth to the channel.

Your fingers must be on the pulse of online conversation. You should be able to spot a new story or rising trend and act quickly to generate engaging video content around this.

Ideal candidates will be numbers driven; focused on gaming the algorithm and generating millions of views.

Role Responsibilities

• Monitor trends and relay story ideas confidently to the team
• Script, edit and deliver daily and weekly short form video content across social channels with an understanding of the key narrative of a story
• Source and re-edit the best and most engaging content, making sure clips are sourced in a legal manner and credited appropriately
• Be prepared to film high-quality, original content remotely and in-person, including with contributors and talent, when required
• Create headlines, social copy and metadata for posting of videos across all platforms
• Use data and analytics to inform decisions on pitches and future content
• Have an idea of all the major social platforms and how video content should be repackaged to suit each one
• Contribute ideas for new video formats including viral junkets and celebrity content
• Understand legal covenants such as the UK Editors’ Code of Practice, media law, copyright law and editorial guidelines in the UK and globally
• Help to build a strong Metro.co.uk voice across our video output

Key Skills and Experience

• Experience working within a news/media environment at a local or national level or strong student media experience
• A strong news sense, with a creative approach to storytelling
• An understanding of the vertical video environment
• Filming experience preferred
• An understanding of how analytics impacts content decisions
• Ability to edit using Adobe Premiere Pro and other editing suites
• Understanding of the UK Editors’ Code of Practice, media and copyright law
• Willingness to work in a dynamic, fast-paced 24/7 news environment with flexibility to work unsociable hours as and when required

Your shift pattern will be Tuesday-Saturday

The above list is not exhaustive and constantly evolving, based on the needs of the business. Out-of-hours availability and a high level of adaptability are essential.

Please apply by sending an up-to-date CV, a note about yourself and why you’d be perfect for the team, and, if available, a showreel.

Any applications received without a CV will not be considered.
