We are looking for a skilled and experienced video content creator and editor to lead the creation of high-impact, fast-turnaround digital video content. Sitting within the Creative Studio and working closely with our Social Media team, this role is based in Central London and forms part of the wider Global Strategic Communications team.

As a Video Content Creator, you will shoot, edit, and produce compelling, purpose-driven content tailored to different platforms, with a strong understanding of editorial and organisational storytelling that effectively communicates the Institute’s work globally. You will have a deep understanding of content styles for different platforms, stay ahead of social trends, and create videos that inform, inspire, and showcase the impact of our global work.

The ideal candidate is a visual storyteller with a strong portfolio of branded content and compelling narratives. This is a hands‑on role requiring technical expertise, creativity, and collaboration in a fast‑paced environment.

• Plan, shoot, and edit engaging video content for social media, web, and other channels. This covers a variety of content types including interviews, pieces to camera, engaging b‑roll, and promotional videos for campaigns and events.
• Operate professional video equipment (cameras, lighting, and sound) in both studio and on‑location settings, often with high‑profile subjects.
• Set up and test livestream links for TBI events and external partners, ensuring smooth execution.
• Liaise with external production teams, providing clear briefs to ensure we receive video files in the correct formats and specifications.
• Direct talent with confidence and clarity, ensuring our subjects – from senior leaders to partners and TBI colleagues – deliver strong on‑camera performances.
• Develop social‑first video concepts with the Social and Design, ensuring a consistent content stream that aligns with our social and wider business strategy.
• Lead video projects end‑to‑end, working alongside our Project Management team from pre‑production to post‑production, managing filming, editing, colour correction, sound design, final output and archiving.
• Respond flexibly to last‑minute filming requests from senior leaders and priority teams. This may require coming into the office at short notice to capture time‑sensitive content.
• Optimise content for different platforms, including short form vertical formats and long‑form YouTube content.
• Ensure accessibility best practices (subtitles, captions, audio descriptions) across all video content.
• Understand and apply TBI’s brand guidelines and quality standards across internal and external video content.
• Stay ahead of trends and AI advancements in video production, editing, and creative development, using tools like RunwayML, Descript, and Adobe Sensei to enhance efficiency.
• Monitor video performance metrics alongside Digital and Social teams, iterating based on insight to increase engagement, reach, and growth.

• Experience filming and editing professional‑quality videos, using both full camera kit and mobile devices
• Proficiency in video editing software (e.g. Premiere)
• Excellent storytelling skills, with an eye for design, pacing and visual impact
• Confidence in After Effects to edit and create motion graphics (text animations, lower thirds, transitions)
• Working knowledge of wider creative tools, including Adobe suite (Audition, Media Encoder, Photoshop, Illustrator) and Figma
• Familiarity with social platforms (Instagram, X, LinkedIn and YouTube) and their video formats, trends, and performance strategies
• Ability to work independently and manage fast‑turnaround projects, balancing multiple priorities with attention to detail
• Excellent communication and cross‑teams collaboration skills, making subjects feel comfortable on camera and deliver a confident performance
• Adaptability to support wider video projects beyond social content as required, due to the ever‑evolving nature of the Institute
• Flexibility in working patterns and comfortable responding to rapid requests

This role offers the chance to work on impactful, global storytelling, collaborate with senior stakeholders, and push creative boundaries in digital content. If you’re passionate about visual storytelling, editorial integrity, and pushing creative boundaries in digital content, we’d love to hear from you.
