Director-Producer / Shooter-Editor

Glasgow HYBRID

We are building a long-form YouTube channel with a strong documentary feel - more akin to premium factual TV than typical influencer content.

The channel will follow the journey of developing and launching a new venture in the skincare/healthcare space, blending:
real-world process
human storytelling
scientific/medical insight
reflective personal narrative

We are not looking for a social media "content creator" or influencer-style editor. The right candidate will have experience in television, documentary, factual or observational formats, and understand how to craft compelling visual storytelling from real life without contrivance.

Role Description:

We are seeking a Director-Producer (or strong Shooter-Editor) who can:

Help shape narrative and episode arcs
Film in a documentary / vérité style
Capture actuality, interviews and natural coverage
Edit into strong 10-15 min episodes
Cut supporting short-form moments for promotion
Bring a calm, premium editorial tone to the work
This is not a churn-and-burn volume job - the priority is quality, coherence and storytelling, not daily uploads.

Candidate Profile:

Ideally you will have:

Experience in factual entertainment, documentary, or specialist factual TV
Strong shooting ability (FS7 / FX6 / C300 / similar cinema workflows)
Strong editing skills (Premiere/FCP/Resolve)
Ability to build narrative from real events (not scripted)
Good tonal judgement and taste
Composure and diplomacy working with high-performing individuals
Interest in beauty/health/medical/science content (bonus, not essential)

Titles that fit this profile might include:

Director-Producer, Shooting Producer, Shooting PD, Self-Shooting Director, Documentary Producer, Factual Editor, DP/Editor (Doc), Filmmaker (Doc/Narrative).

Tone & Style:

Think more along the lines of:
Chef's Table
Abstract
Inside Bill's Brain
The September Issue
High-end YouTube documentary channels
...and not influencer vlogs or YouTube reaction content.

Duration & Commitment:

Initial 3-month probationary collaboration
Strong potential for multi-year ongoing work for the right fit
Approx. 2 shoot days per month + edit time (TBC based on workflow)

Start Date:
February/March 2026 (negotiable)

Compensation:
Competitive and commensurate with broadcast experience and scope.

We value experience and craft, not just output volume.

To Apply:

Please send:
A brief introduction
Relevant CV or credits list
Links to factual/documentary work (YouTube, Vimeo or broadcast reels)
Indicative monthly fee expectations to produce 4 x 10-15 minute episodes / month
We are only considering candidates with broadcast-level craft.
