Videographer & Content Strategist
We are looking for a hybrid Videographer & Content Strategist who brings high-level visual storytelling together with creative strategy, producing content for The Social Shepherd's marketing output.
You aren't just someone who operates a camera; you think strategically, have a ton of ideas, an eye for clean art direction, and can edit. You understand how visuals drive engagement across social channels, podcasts, and paid acquisition, and care about how a brand is perceived.
Based in our Bath office, you will own our video output end-to-end for The Social Shepherd, not our clients.
From brainstorming bold content concepts to lighting, shooting, editing, and art directing.
You’ll also work closely with our wider team to ensure our overall visual identity remains sharp, cohesive, and innovative.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Ideation & Strategy: Conceptualise and produce organic social content, our podcast, and high-converting paid social ads.
Production & Direction: Handle camera operation, lighting, audio, and art direction. Constantly experiment with visual techniques and creative direction.
Post-Production: Edit, colour grade, and master video content quickly without sacrificing quality, tailoring formats and pacing to specific platform algorithms and audience behaviours. Our plan in the future will be to add editors to enable you to focus on strategy and production.
Design Briefing: Set the visual direction for campaign rollouts and brief our graphic design team on assets needed for social media feeds, thumbnails, and supporting collateral.
Podcasting: Build the format and manage the setup, filming, and post-production editing (short-form clips and full-length cuts) for our podcast series.
Travel: Travel occasionally to shoot content, capture team culture, and cover events at our London, New York, and Miami offices.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Proven Portfolio: A strong showreel demonstrating high-end videography, sharp video editing, and clear art direction.
Creative Mindset: An endless stream of ideas with a deep understanding of internet culture and how to ideate hooks & scripts.
Technical: Expertise with cameras, studio/location lighting, audio, and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
Self-Starter: Ability to take a high-level creative brief and run with it from blank page to finished asset.
Flexibility: Willingness to travel internationally (US/UK) when required. But knowing that will be a rarity, and most of the time will be in our Bath office.
