Video Content Lead

Alpha Group is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Content Lead to take ownership of video production across our portfolio of brands, including Alpha Capital, Alpha Futures, Alpha Prime and our upcoming launches.

About the Role

We're looking for someone who brings together two key strengths: strong video editing and production knowledge, alongside a deep understanding of social media content, trends and what makes videos perform.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can manage editors, oversee production, contribute creative ideas and ensure we consistently deliver high-quality content across multiple brands.

You'll work closely with our marketing managers, social media team, videographers and editors, with regular time spent in our London office supporting shoots and collaborating with the wider team.

- Work with marketing managers and social media teams to develop video concepts and editing directions.

- Identify opportunities to repurpose long-form content into high-performing short-form clips.
