About the Role
We’re after a gamer who lives and breathes social. Reporting to the Social Lead, you’ll ideate and edit social-first content for a globally loved games publisher, turning supplied in-game footage, trailers and assets into scroll-stopping videos for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond. You’ll know the culture from the inside: the memes, the patch-day chaos, the community in-jokes, and the difference between content that gets clipped and shared and content that gets roasted in the comments. You’ll also be plugged into wider internet culture and emerging trends. Most of the work happens in post-production. That means finding the moment in the footage, cutting it to the trend and making it land. You'll need to be OP with strong ideas and sharp edits. In this role, you’ll be…
• Ideating social-first content, from fast, reactive trend plays to bigger platform and launch moments
• Editing supplied gameplay and cinematic footage into native, platform-specific video in Premiere Pro
• Keeping a finger on the pulse of gaming culture, creator trends, memes and emerging formats, and bringing that thinking into every brief
• Writing punchy, culturally fluent copy that speaks the community’s language
• Working with the Social Lead, account team and client to develop, present and refine ideas
• Moving quickly on reactive opportunities while keeping craft and quality high
• Looking at performance and feeding what you learn into the next round of content You’ll be bringing to the table…
• 4+ years of experience in social content creation, ideally in an agency, in-house or as a successful creator in your own right
• Genuine gaming credentials. You play, you follow the scene and you understand what makes gaming communities tick
• A strong grasp of social platforms, trends and internet culture beyond gaming, and the instinct to bridge the two
• Advanced Premiere Pro skills, with a folio of fast-paced, social-first edits
• After Effects or motion design skills (a big bonus)
• Strong ideation and copywriting skills
• Confidence sharing and presenting ideas to the team and clients
• Good organisation and the ability to deliver on tight turnarounds
• A proactive, collaborative approach and a desire to make work people actually want to watch
