We’re looking for a Content Creator to join our team at Virgin Experience Days.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENT: Skip the cover letter!

As part of your application, please include a link to a 30-second vertical video (TikTok/Reel style) answering:

"What’s the most 'anti-ordinary' experience gift you’ve ever given or received - and why did it beat a physical present?"

Show us your on-camera energy, storytelling, and short-form editing skills in action!

What you'll do:

Content Creation & On-Camera

• Be a genuine, high-energy on-camera presence for Virgin Experience Days — an authentic face of the brand across UK social content
• Own the ideation and creation of social-first content that brings our brand and commercial priorities to life.
• Produce, shoot and edit content across a wide range of outputs — behind-the-scenes features, short social reels, paid ads, brand campaigns, and more
• Cover a genuinely varied slate of formats: from first-person experience content (attending and capturing our own experiences) and employee-generated, trend-reactive content, to interviews with our CEO
• Bring a natural sense of hooks and pacing, translating trends and formats into content that feels native to the brand
• Work with the Social & Influencer Specialist, inputting to the plan for the organic social content calendar
• Edit content to a strong, platform-native standard. You should be comfortable producing polished, ready-to-publish content using accessible tools (e.g. CapCut, InShot, native platform editors)

Cultural & Trend Fluency

• Stay immersed in TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube trends, audio, and formats, spotting opportunities to insert the brand into live cultural conversations
• Bring genuine platform instinct: an understanding of what performs and why
• Maintaining and growing your own nano/micro-influencer social presence is a benefit, although not required

Talent Direction & Energy

• Direct social content shoots — guiding talent, structuring shots, and capturing footage built to perform
• Bring the kind of high-energy, comfortable-on-camera personality that puts colleagues or contributors at ease

Delivery & Organisation

• Work with internal teams to clearly understand wider business priorities and translate them into content that feels authentic and native to organic social channels
• Maximise the value of every shoot by producing scalable content for ongoing testing and iteration
• Own the organisation of the UK social video content library, keeping it easy for the wider team to access and use
• Track and measure organic content performance to KPIs and iterate on successes to drive continuous improvements
• Work with the Paid Media team to create content optimised for commercial KPIs

Perks to make work feel less ordinary:

• Time for you: 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 2 days each year
• Freedom to work your way: 2 days in-office (Tuesday is a mandatory in-office day), Flexi-working hours around our core 10-4, so your day works for you (8.5 hours per day with a 1 hour lunch)
• Wellbeing that works: Access to an award-winning employee assistance programme; Health Plan cover (plus family add-ons) with cash back for a variety of health & wellbeing costs; Cycle to Work and Electric Vehicle schemes (post probation).
• Future proofing you (and your finances): Company pension (5% you, 3% us) after 3 months; Discretionary bonus and life assurance after probation.
• Giving back & all the anti-ordinary extras: 2 volunteer days each year; Free breakfast when in the office; Personal re-loadable multi-choice gift card (topped up on your birthday, lifetime milestones and internal celebrations); Yearly £150 experience voucher; Discounts on experiences and across the Virgin Group; Refer a Friend bonus and generous team celebrations throughout the year.

What you'll need:

• Existing experience producing content as a creator
• Understanding of what works on different social platforms, and the ability to translate in-platform data to business KPIs
• A high-energy on-camera presence, and the ability to bring others out of their shell in front of a camera
• Deeply embedded in social and cultural trends — someone who spots a moment and knows how to make it work for the brand, quickly
• Comfortable editing to a strong standard using accessible tools; advanced Adobe Suite skills are a bonus, not a requirement
• Collaborative and responsive to brief — able to work from someone else's commercial and campaign priorities while keeping content feeling authentic
