East London Based - Hybrid Role
Salary: £55k-£65k
We’re looking for a Head of Short Form Content who properly understands where short form content is right now, what’s working and what’s coming next. If you’re brilliant at coming up with ideas & understand how to hold a viewer’s attention, please keep reading.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
• Leading short form content across YouTube Shorts, TikTok & Reels.
• Devising tailored strategies for each of our channels across all platforms.
• Providing clear feedback to editors to make sure videos are captivating, structured well and designed to hold the viewer’s attention.
• Writing & ideating strong audio and visual hooks.
• Keeping on top of trends, formats and what’s working across social platforms.
• Working with the wider team to make sure content is delivered consistently and on time.
The Kind of Person We’re After
• Creative. You can come up with strong ideas, not just execute other people’s.
• Experienced. You’ve done this type of role before, whether that’s running a large short form account, leading content for a creator/brand, or consistently making videos that have performed at a high level.
• Organised. You can manage multiple videos, edits and deadlines without things getting messy.
• Tasteful. You know when something feels sharp, funny, boring, too slow or over-edited.
• Detail-focused. You notice pacing, wording, captions, sound, framing and the impact they have on viewer retention.
• Confident giving feedback. You can explain what needs changing and why.
• Curious. You’re always watching what’s working online and thinking about how to apply it.
This role would suit someone who lives and breathes online content, has strong creative instincts and understands the nuances between content that will work on Instagram vs YouTube vs Tik Tok.
