Photographer jobs in Durham

Wander is a content studio building original formats and IP for TV, YouTube and global brands. We develop, produce and grow content, shows and channels from broadcast commissions to creator-led YouTube series to brand content that people actually choose to watch.

Founded in the North East in 2018, Wander has built a reputation for developing high quality, original content and formats with broadcasters & global brands. We've worked with the likes of the BBC, Channel 4, Greggs, KPMG and Riot Games, been selected as a Channel 4 Emerging Indie, and been recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30. We're a hybrid of production house and content strategy studio, built from a place and a perspective the industry historically has underestimated.

The Lead Videographer delivers to the visual and technical standard of Wander's work across TV formats, YouTube series and brand campaigns. This role is both creative and hands-on: leading shoots, directing performance and story on location, then carrying that vision through post to deliver a finished product that's genuinely distinctive.

You'll work with a wider team across production and drive quality in filming, exploring new techniques and tools while mentoring others coming up in the team. You'll be trusted to make the calls that matter, creative and technical, from pre-production through to delivery.

Location: Middlesbrough HQ (with travel when necessary)

• Bonus if you've got experience across TV formats, YouTube-native series, or documentary-style storytelling for global brands
