We are looking for a video producer with an interest in short-form digital content to oversee the production of a number of short videos and other social assets for an exciting new campaign. Based in London, and working to our Director of Content, and alongside another producer, you will be working with a number of NGOs across Europe to devise, script, produce (via remote crews) and edit produce a number of short films simultaneously, taking them from start to finish. The films will reflect and amplify the work of the community groups we are working with, helping them communicate their important work to a wider audience.

As the production lead on this project, you will oversee scheduling and ensure that all production milestones are hit, and all assets delivered on time. You will take responsibility for driving the project forward, working with our accounts team, digital team and project management teams to ensure the smooth delivery of the project. You do not need any shooting or directing skills as this is an office-based role. The role does not require any foreign languages.

With a first-hand understanding of, and interest in, digital content, you will be resourceful, curious and brimming with ideas. Overseeing the production of several videos at the same time, filmed in different countries, you will need to be organised, efficient, positive, and with a can-do attitude to meeting deadlines.

Ideally you will combine a journalistic sensibility with an understanding of how to create compelling, entertaining and must-watch content. You will have significant experience in the edit, and will be great at writing clear, attention-grabbing scripts. You will be a master of conveying complex information in a simple and concise fashion.
