• Excellent communication, writing, organisation and tech skills in relation to editing video, and ideally shooting too.
• The ability to work alone and come up with solutions or operate as part of a creative team.
• Great attention to detail and reliably high standards of work
• A self-starting attitude – we need you to drive our client work and business development forward without needing too much senior input.
• A creative mind full of ideas, and a keenness to introduce new content formats and ways of working.
