We are looking for a Video Producer to join our Entertainment and Podcast teams in London.

You will be creating video content for social media platforms daily to drive both awareness and listenership of our Bauer-owned Podcasts.

This is a very hands-on and creative role!

Whether in the studio or on location, you have a passion for, and excellent knowledge of, short-form video and its potential to reach and engage online audiences.

You are highly creative, naturally curious and always want to learn something new, then share it with those around you. You're clued into the social media landscape, and evolution of video platforms like YouTube and TikTok, and are constantly adapting your ideas and ways of working to maximise the reach and engagement of the video content you create.

You know what stops audiences in their feeds, and can turn around this type of video content quickly and efficiently.

Our Team

We see podcasts as multi-platform digital media brands, so we need to be more creative and innovative than ever to get and keep people's attention.

The Podcast team at Bauer is a dynamic collection of multi-skilled audio and visual content creators.
