Social Media Producer

We’re looking for a creative, collaborative and dynamic new colleague to produce video, audio and other social content. Your focus will be promoting the Cable’s journalism to our existing and potential audience and maintaining our public-facing communications. You’ll be keen not only to create polished, engaging short-form content of your own, but also to help us grow the impact of our long form, in-depth journalism.

You’ll collaborate with teammates on our media and communications strategies, and be responsible for reaching and engaging a wider and more diverse audience within the city. You’ll do this via both compelling standalone social posts and content, and by repackaging our existing journalism into short form, shareable material.

This role would suit a social-native creative or journalist who’s not only fluent in a number of platforms and their workflows, but is eager to learn and innovate as trends develop and your style progresses. You’ll also be committed to balancing our engagement needs with editorial integrity, using common sense and collaboration with the team to make strong creative decisions, rather than jumping on a trend bandwagon.

Aside from our main roles, every Cable team member is part of the staff cooperative. We all have a shared stake in the work we do and how we work together, so all team members contribute to key decisions and the overall direction of the Cable, including our priorities, strategy and general operations.

Hours: 4 days per week

Salary: £26,084 pro rata (Note: The Cable has an equitable pay structure where the pay differential between the lowest and highest paid is no more than 20%. This is band 2 out of 5 – 5% above base. See below for more info.)

Location: Bristol Cable office: The Station, Silver Street, BS1 2AG (with work from home flexibility, but you will need to be able to attend the office several days a week)

Applications closing date: Monday 7th August at 10am
