We're on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we're hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer.

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don't hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we would like to strongly encourage you to apply. In advance of applying if you have any questions about working at Unifrog, please contact our Diversity Champions, Hannah and Farhana.

Content at Unifrog
Whether we are communicating through images, video or text, we always try to be straightforward, honest, and to show respect for the people with whom we are communicating.

Clear communication is particularly important for us because our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to access to opportunities, and a big part of this effort is fair and straightforward access to information. It's also important for us to be fun, while not talking down to young people.

Over the last few years, we have created hundreds of videos aimed at students and teachers.

We now have an exciting slate of new video projects that we want to produce. We want to use video:

To develop some of the most popular parts of the Unifrog platform, currently used by hundreds of thousands of young people every week to explore different careers, different subjects at university, and topics that matter to them like Climate Change and Wellbeing.

To help us create brand new tools within the platform, expanding what Unifrog offers to young people, and how we interact with external partners like employers and universities.

We also want to improve the quality of the videos we create, making them slicker and more useful to our users.

Working together
You'll join a Video team of five colleagues, and you'll be line managed by the Head of Video. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across various departments, including the Marketing team, the Employer and HE teams and the Written content team.

Within the Video Team, we foster a collaborative environment where brainstorming sessions are common, feedback is exchanged among team members, and we actively seek input from educators and students at our partner schools. We value and promote innovative ideas, regardless of their origin.

The role
We are looking for a skilled and creative Producer/Director who will shoot and edit 3-5 minute videos aimed at young people, which will be hosted on the Unifrog platform. As well as creating the videos you will work with others to arrange filming shoots.

In-person shoots are conducted using high-quality professional equipment, where you will either work independently as the primary shooter or collaborate with an Assistant Producer to assist with equipment setup, lighting, and sound management.

In the last year we've made videos such as:

Careers guides in partnership with employers such as the British Army, Virgin Atlantic and Ford;

University guides in partnership with several Universities in the UK and abroad;

A recent graduate giving young people tips on moving out of the family home for the first time;

A case study of a Unifrog partner school in Italy.

You'll create videos like these, and you'll also help us with our ambitious plans for creating completely new types of videos which will allow us to develop new parts of the Unifrog platform.

Key skills

Working with external partners
You'll work with other people on the Unifrog team to organise shoots with external contributors, either on location or via Zoom. Excellent interpersonal skills, and persistent so that you can make things happen. Strong adaptability skills are also required to make real-time improvements to existing scripts, if needed.

Directing shoots
Sometimes you'll be working on your own with the contributor/s, and sometimes with an Assistant Producer. You need to be confident and talented at directing shoots both in person and on video calls.

Technical skills
You need to be able to operate cameras such as the A7S, to be at least competent with lights and sound, and to be proficient at using the Adobe suite, in particular Premiere Pro for any necessary pre-edits.

Juggling projects and meeting deadlines
We always have lots of productions happening simultaneously, and we have very high standards for the end-product. You need to be organised to meet tight deadlines and determined to get things done on time, promptly communicating any challenges that may arise.

Editorial judgement
You will be responsible for pre-editing the footage from the projects you shoot, as well as organising the editing materials and providing editors with a clear brief. This includes selecting the best takes and efficiently organising the B-roll footage inside a Premiere Pro project.
