The successful candidate will be a motivated individual who can manage all aspects of video production, from concept briefing through to filming, from post to trafficking, to localisation, ensuring that all elements conform to the brand and creative vision.

You will inspire confidence by your project management and tenacity in meeting a deadline and show an unwavering attention to detail and an acute awareness that everything counts. You will provide clear ownership and accountability to anything you touch and see it through beyond completion - measuring a project's success beyond delivery. You will show a relentless desire for innovation, balanced with business priorities.
