Junior Content Creator

The Role

The team

We’re looking to continue raising the bar at ITV Creative - to compete with the best of the broadcasters and streamers and get people excited about our shows and our brand.

So we’re looking for a Junior Content Creative, someone who wants to get stuck into crafting scroll stopping social, punchy trailers as well as coming up with ideas for all of the above.

You’ll work alongside a Lead Content Creative across a huge range of shows and genres in a fast turnaround environment alongside other Creatives, Editors, Sound Mixers and Production.

The role

We need a Creative who is passionate and ambitious about Editing, Sound, Design and Social who can create bold and engaging assets across all of our genres and platforms.

You’ll be working across fast turnaround asset creation like social posts, and 10/20/30 second trailers eventually supporting larger 360 integrated campaigns and everything in between.

From an editing perspective a strong command of Adobe Premiere or Davinci Resolve is essential.

A grasp of motion graphics and design - particularly within Adobe After Effects - is also essential. This includes proficiency in creating text and emoji animations, split screens, and transitions for social media content.

Demonstrate fluency in social media (Meta, YouTube, and TikTok. etc) an understanding of emerging trends, and an eye for the distinct demands, opportunities and mechanics of all platforms.

Demonstrate an ability to write engaging, hooky copy for social and other platforms.

And have work / examples that illustrate all of the above.

You should also be a fantastic collaborator, working alongside Production, craft staff, being open to ideas from others and able to take and address feedback from stakeholders.

Experience with Self Op shoots would be an advantage - especially quick PTC (Piece to Camera) type projects.

And an ability to be self-reliant, managing projects, workloads and deadlines is extremely important although there is always support if needed.
