Content Creator at VC Backed Startup (£30-60K)
The job hunting process is sh*t so we flipped it on its head. With Jumpstart, high-growth startup marketing roles find you.
If you're ready to own marketing strategy, lead campaigns, and genuinely shape a startup's growth, Jumpstart is for you.
How does it work?
- Top startup roles - get access to a curated list of marketing roles in the UK's most exciting startups. Hear back from your applications within days.
- Founders pitch to you - as a Jumpstarter once said, "you can't get vibes from a job description." Pre-recorded video pitches from founders bring roles & a startup to life so you can ensure it's a great fit.
- Connect with startups - we've made the job hunt a two-way street. You'll apply to roles and receive inbound interest from startups who want to speak to you.
- Interview support - access comprehensive training guides, receive individual interview support, and chat to Jumpstart alumni about their interview advice.
- Ongoing career growth - landing a role is only the start of your journey with Jumpstart. You'll join the Jumpstart community (the "best startup community in London") and gain access to all the tools you need to smash your role. Think mentorship, training & more.
On average, it takes ~4–6 weeks to land a role and you can participate in the programme whilst in full-time work.
The role: making content
Exact scope depends on the startup, but you'll own creative execution end-to-end, working closely with the wider marketing team. On a typical week you might:
- Take a script or a rough concept from brief to filmed footage to an edited, ready-to-test asset.
- Film short-form, phone-first video - often lo-fi, sometimes with you on camera.
- Self-edit fast in CapCut or similar: nailing hooks, pacing, captions, and sound. Cut a few versions of the same concept to see what actually wins.
- Run shoot days - office, warehouse, on location, wherever it needs to happen and coordinate talent when it's not just you in front of the camera.
- Keep a steady pipeline of content moving that's genuinely good, not just technically on-brand.
Depending on the startup you might also pick up website copy, email, or SEO - but making content that performs is the core of it.
Salary range: £30-60K + equity (DOE).
