Content Creator

Short Form Content Creator at Peoples Automotive Group - Edinburgh

About The Role

You don’t just use TikTok or Instagram Reels – you live them. You’re the one sending your mates trending sounds before they go viral. You think in hooks, scroll with purpose, and already have a mental list of “I'd have done that better” every time you see a brand post.

This is an incredible opportunity to take what you already do – create, scroll, obsess over content – and turn it into your career.

This isn’t a desk job. It’s a camera-facing, trend-chasing, scroll-stopping role for someone who lives on TikTok and Instagram Reels - and is happy chasing the creation of content that flies.

We’re building something different. And we need someone who’s not afraid to be the face of it.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and film original short-form videos for TikTok, Reels and YT Shorts
• Be the on-screen personality for regular content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Take ownership of video storytelling: planning, scripting and filming content independently or with internal support
• Work with the marketing team to align video content with campaign activity, offers, product launches, and showroom events
• Generate ideas and contribute to the weekly social content rhythm — you’ll be a key part of our creative process
• Stay on top of trends, memes, formats and sounds — and use them to drive relevance
• Turn product features, offers, FAQs and customer moments into engaging content
• Write engaging captions and call-to-actions when needed
  
  

You’ll Need To Be

• Confident on camera with a strong, natural presenting style
• Creative and tuned in to what works on TikTok and Instagram
• Self-starting — able to plan, film and execute without waiting for perfect conditions
• Collaborative — happy to work with others on ideas and content shoots
• Comfortable filming using a phone or camera (no professional lighting/sound needed)
• Organised and consistent — can stick to a weekly content rhythm
• Passionate about helping customers, sharing useful info, and showcasing product in a non-salesy way
• Resilient – able to handle feedback, stay positive under pressure and keep creating when it’s busy
• Excited by the opportunity to work independently – no hand holding, just momentum
• Proactive – always looking for the next idea, the next post, the next way to improve
• Basic CapCut / TikTok editing skills
• Interest in cars, technology, or EVs
• Previous experience creating content for a personal or brand account
• Experience going live on social or engaging with comments/community
• Full UK Driving Licence holder
