• Experience filming and editing video for social media and digital platforms.
• Strong skills in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or similar.
• A good understanding of Instagram Reels, YouTube and what makes engaging social content.
• Creative ideas, storytelling instincts and a good eye for visual detail.

• The ability to interpret a brief and turn it into engaging, original content.
• Strong communication, organisation and time management skills.An understanding of social media trends, engagement and analytics.
• A collaborative attitude and genuine interest in Greater Manchester.
• Experience growing a YouTube channel, producing branded content or working in digital publishing would be a bonus.

What you'll get

You'll join a small, ambitious and friendly team with a shared passion for Manchester.

You'll have the freedom to pitch ideas, experiment with creative formats and help shape the future of an established local media brand.
