How to Apply

Email us at [e-mail] telling us why you would be great for this position. Also send a link to some of your most recent work you are proud of and let us know what your role was in producing it (we understand that you don’t always have control of all aspects) - if you don't do either of these things your chances of being shortlisted are very slim.

Application Process

There is no hard deadline for applications – we will remain open until we have a strong shortlist to work from so if you are thinking of applying then please do it as soon as you can so as not to miss out.

Once a shortlist has been selected we will invite them to an in‑person interview at our studio in Leith. As part of this stage of the process we will provide some sample footage, a short brief and will ask you to produce a short edit for us to review ahead of the interview.

We will endeavour to get back to everyone who applies either way.
