Social Content Videographer/Editor Lead

OVERVIEW

The Social Content Videographer / Editor Lead is responsible for delivering high-quality, social-first video content across client brands, combining creative execution with strong platform understanding to produce work that is native, engaging and performance-driven.
This role operates across the full spectrum of modern social content — from lo-fi, reactive creator-style execution to more structured mid-fi branded production. It requires a balance of craft, speed and judgement, with the ability to adapt approach based on platform, audience and objective.
At Core, content is not created in isolation. It is built to travel, perform and scale, supported by media, data and audience insight. This role plays a key part in ensuring that output meets that standard, contributing not only to how content is produced, but also to what should be made and why.
As the social offering continues to grow, this role will also contribute to developing internal capability, supporting and mentoring others while helping to elevate the overall standard of videography and editing across the team.
This position offers the opportunity to work across high-profile brands, shaping how content is created and delivered at scale, and contributing to a more integrated, performance-led social offering.
