Job description

The role

This is the person who takes a brand and makes it interesting.

You'll own content for a handful of our clients end to end. That means finding the angle nobody else would, turning it into a concept, writing the script, and staying with it through the shoot and the edit until it lands exactly the way you imagined it. You become the one who decides what's worth making and why.

What you'll do

• Own the creative for 5-6 brands: their angle, their voice, their content.
• Come up with concepts and story angles that don't look like everyone else's, month after month.
• Write scripts, hooks, carousels, LinkedIn posts, whatever the idea needs, in each brand's voice.
• Pitch your ideas to clients and defend the thinking behind them.
• Be on shoots to direct the vision: guide the talent, tell the DOP what you want, make the idea real on set.
• Sit with the editor and shape the final cut until it's right.
• Have an opinion on everything.

Who you are

• You find fresh angles instinctively, even for tired topics.
• You write with a real voice - you can sound like a dry founder one day and a Gen-Z brand the next.
• You can generate ideas, not just execute them.
• You think on your feet and back yourself. You'd rather have a point of view than wait to be told one.
• You care about the craft and the outcome, not the clock. If a shoot's tomorrow, you prep today, that's the job, not a favour.
• You can hold a set: direct people, brief a camera, keep a vision intact when everything's chaotic.
• 2-4 years in content, creative, or agency work. We care far more about how you think than where you've worked.

Nice to have

• You've written for founders or personal brands.
• You've been on shoots and know your way around a set.
• A sharp sense of humour and a feel for what's happening online.
