You’ll work closely with marketing and operational teams to bring campaigns, product launches, seasonal activity and key events to life. From short‑form video for Instagram Reels and Stories to photography for websites, CRM and PR, your work will help bring the customer experience to life before people even engage with the brand.

About you...

This role would suit a naturally creative Videographer & Photographer who loves being behind the camera but also understands what makes content work on social.

You’ll be confident capturing content in busy, live environments, comfortable working at pace and able to turn ideas into high-quality creative assets. You’ll enjoy variety, thrive on being out on location and want to create work that captures the feeling of actually being there.

What we’re looking for...

• At least 2–3 years’ professional experience across videography and photography
• Excellent video editing skills using Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut Pro or similar
• Experience creating engaging short‑form content for Instagram and other social platforms
