Fashion Photography jobs in Manchester

Senior Social Content Producer

Location: Manchester – office and location-based
Salary: £37,000–£40,000, with room for progression
Type: Full-time

The role

We are looking for an experienced, video-led Senior Social Content Producer to take ownership of filming, photography, and editing across our social channels.

This is not a general social media or marketing position. We need someone who is already highly capable at creating professional, social-first content and can demonstrate this through a strong commercial portfolio.

You must understand hooks, pacing, storytelling, platform trends, and what makes content perform. You should be able to take an idea from concept through filming, direction, editing, and final delivery without requiring constant instruction.

You will film at our Manchester office and studio, as well as at salons, skin clinics, training academies, events, and other professional locations. This access provides the opportunity to produce credible, educational, and visually distinctive content that competitors cannot easily replicate.

Key responsibilities

• Develop original concepts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, paid social, and other digital channels
• Film and edit high-quality, fast-paced social video
• Create strong hooks and structure content to hold attention
• Direct staff, creators, models, professionals, and customers during shoots
• Capture high-quality product, lifestyle, treatment, event, and behind-the-scenes photography
• Plan and lead content days at salons, skin clinics, academies, and events
• Turn each shoot into multiple pieces of content for different platforms, audiences, and objectives
• Produce organic, paid, educational, product-led, and professional-facing content
• Work with the wider social and marketing teams on campaigns, launches, trends, and commercial priorities
• Maintain a consistent and recognisable visual identity
• Manage footage, editing workflows, and the content production pipeline
• Review performance and use the results to improve future creative
• Identify new formats, locations, collaborations, and content opportunities
• Support and provide creative direction to junior members of the social team

Experience required

• At least four years’ relevant experience in video production, social content, or a closely related creative role
• A strong portfolio of commercial content that you personally filmed and edited
• Advanced video editing skills using professional editing software
• Proven experience producing content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and paid-social advertising
• Strong photography skills, particularly involving products and people
• Experience planning and independently leading content shoots
• Confidence directing people who may not be experienced on camera
• A strong understanding of hooks, pacing, storytelling, captions, trends, and audience retention
• Experience working within a fast-moving consumer brand, creative agency, production company, or similarly commercial environment
• The ability to produce content that is visually strong while still serving a clear commercial purpose
• Excellent organisation and the ability to manage several shoots, edits, and deadlines simultaneously

Experience within beauty, skincare, aesthetics, salons, fashion, wellness, or another visually led consumer industry would be an advantage.

About us

We are a fast-growing UK beauty and hygiene brand operating across the UK, Europe, Ireland, and the US. Our products are sold directly to consumers and through professional partners, including salons, makeup artists, skin clinics, academies, and other industry professionals.

We have access to excellent products, professional environments, industry experts, customers, and real treatments. We want an experienced creative who can turn this access into distinctive, high-performing content.

Progression

This role offers the opportunity to take increasing ownership of the brand’s creative direction and content production as the business and internal creative team grow.

For the right person, there is a clear route towards a senior creative, content lead, or creative lead position.

How to apply

Please send your CV and portfolio, including examples of content you personally filmed and edited.

For each example, please explain your personal involvement, including whether you developed the concept, filmed the content, directed the participants, and completed the final edit.

Applications without a relevant video portfolio will not be considered.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a practical editing and content-development task using footage supplied by us.
