Job description

Requirements

• A showreel with real social-first proof - evidence you understand how content works natively on social
• Equally, evidence you can tell a beautiful human story - elevated, considered, well-crafted work
• Genuinely strong at both halves of the job: you shoot and you edit to a professional standard
• Speed with control - you can get a series out quickly without the quality visibly dropping
• Hands-on experience with AI creative tools - you've experimented, shipped real work with them, and you're hungry to keep learning
• UK-based and able to travel for shoots
• (Desirable) Premiere Pro - it's what we cut in, so we can pass projects back and forth
• (Desirable) Motion graphics, sound design or colour skills beyond the basics
• (Desirable) An interest in energy, climate or technology, or a track record of making unglamorous subjects genuinely watchable
• If you’re excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you

What the job involves

• We're hiring a Video Lead to join the Brand team
• Video is how tem wins attention and trust
• We're rebuilding the energy transaction to be transparent and fair, and the story deserves to be told beautifully - from fast social-first series to high-fidelity customer films
• You're a one-person production unit: you shoot and you cut, flexing between two very different modes - a social series filmed and turned around in days, and a crafted film that feels considered in every frame
• You'll work alongside our Content Lead, who owns ideas, scripts and the story arc
• You own how it gets made, with AI creative tooling as a core part of how you work
• In your first 12 months, you might:
• Ship social-first series week in, week out, built natively for each platform
• Craft high-fidelity customer films and brand pieces that feel considered in every frame
• Use AI creative tooling to hit ideas and turnarounds a traditional pipeline could not
• Build a footage and project library the whole team can find and reuse
• Shape how tem's story shows up on screen - bringing ideas, not just executing them
• Shoot with confidence: run shoots solo - set up, light, frame, record clean audio - and come back with coverage, not just the shot list
• Cut with craft: edit, grade, mix and title. Roughly 70% of your week is in the edit
• Move at social speed: turn platform-native pieces around at pace without the quality visibly dropping
• Go high-fidelity: build pieces where pacing, sound design and framing are doing the storytelling
• Lean into AI: use AI creative tools and suites to build faster, more elevated video, and keep experimenting as they evolve
• Bring out people's best: put customers and colleagues at ease on camera, direct gently, and get their best on screen
• Feed the story: push back and add to ideas - you won't write the scripts, but you'll have a view on how the story lands
