Freelance Social Media Editor, Designer & Content Creator

Job Description

Commitment: 1 day per week (Flexible / Retainer setup)

Location: London (Hybrid — combination of remote editorial/design work and on-site filming)

About the Role:

We are looking for a sharp, multi-disciplinary Social Media Editor to join our team 1 day per week. Sitting at the exact intersection of editorial judgement, graphic design, and video production, you will turn our long-form content and articles into standout social assets. You know how to extract the most engaging editorial hooks and turn them into highly shareable multi-slide carousels, striking graphic posts, and punchy copy. Crucially, you’re also comfortable getting behind the camera—capturing and editing vertical video for events, activations, and reactive moments (e.g. live coverage like our 'bread & butter-off').

Key Responsibilities:

• Editorial Extraction & Copywriting: Read long-form pieces, articles, or briefs to find the killer hooks, quotes, and takeaways, translating them into native social copy.
• Graphic Design & Carousel Production: Concept, design, and layout polished static assets, custom graphics, and high-performing, multi-slide carousels (using Canva) that make complex or long-form ideas visually compelling.
• On-Set Filming: Attend key events or shoots to capture mobile or light-camera video footage (for Instagram Reels), directing on-the-ground moments, challenges, and feature shoots.
• Video Editing & Post-Production: Cut captured footage into high-energy, hook-driven vertical videos with clean motion graphics, subtitles, and audio.
• Contributing Writing: Write original short-form copy or occasional micro-features for our social channels that align with our brand voice.

Job Requirements

Requirements:

• Proven experience in social journalism, editorial social editing, or digital publishing.
• Strong Graphic Design Portfolio: Demonstrated talent for visual storytelling, typography, and carousel layouts designed for high engagement and saves.
• Solid Video & Motion Skills: Experience shooting and editing vertical video (CapCut).
• Excellent editorial eye with a knack for pulling the most interesting detail out of a long article.
• Self-starter who can take a raw brief or article and run with it independently and can run with a brief independently on shoot days.

Key Portfolio Request 

When applying, please share a portfolio or links featuring examples of editorial carousels/graphic posts you've designed alongside vertical video reels you've shot and edited.
