Summary of the Social Video Creative & Editor (Premium brands) job at DEPT®

DEPT® is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, our 4,000+ specialists deliver growth invention services across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data. We’re 50|50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move. Clients include Google, Lufthansa, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. We have been certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021.

At DEPT®, we create social-first content that helps brands stay culturally relevant while remaining true to their identity. For a new premium client team, we are looking for a Social Video Creative & Editor with a strong eye for quality, craftsmanship and storytelling.

This role is different from a typical social content position. While platform expertise and trend awareness remain important, we're looking for someone who understands how to create social content for premium brands. Someone who knows that not every trend is worth following, and that great social content can be both culturally relevant and visually refined.

You'll be joining a multidisciplinary team of strategists, creatives, producers and account managers helping shape the social presence of one of the world's most respected premium brands.

JOB PURPOSE

First and foremost, you're a highly skilled video creator and editor. Premiere Pro is your second language, and you understand how editing, pacing, sound design and motion can elevate a story on social media.

But we're looking for more than technical expertise.

You have a strong sense of aesthetics and understand what distinguishes premium brands from mass-market brands. You know how to create content that feels polished, intentional and aspirational, while still being native to social platforms.

You may have worked with luxury, premium lifestyle, design, interiors, hospitality, fashion, automotive or consumer electronics brands before. You understand how to balance brand guidelines with platform behaviour and know that quality often lives in the details.

You are naturally curious about culture and social media, but you don't chase trends blindly. Instead, you know how to translate trends, insights and platform behaviour into content that feels authentic to the brand.

As a Social Video Creative & Editor, you'll be responsible for creating social-first content that combines platform relevance with premium execution.

Your primary focus will be shooting and editing content, but you'll also play an active role in concept development and creative ideation. From product-focused storytelling and creator collaborations to behind-the-scenes content and social campaigns, you'll help shape how the brand shows up across social channels.

You'll work closely with strategists, creatives and producers to ensure every piece of content is both culturally relevant and visually exceptional.

This role requires a strong understanding of:

• Visual storytelling
• Premium brand aesthetics
• Social-first content creation
• Mobile-first production
• Platform behaviour and audience engagement

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Create and edit high-quality short-form video content for social platforms.
• Shoot social-first content with a strong eye for composition, lighting and detail.
• Translate brand strategy into engaging social content.
• Contribute to creative concepts and content ideas.
• Ensure all content reflects the premium positioning and visual standards of the brand.
• Stay informed on relevant cultural and platform developments and translate them into opportunities for the brand.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Fluent English (written and spoken)
• Advanced editing skills in Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Experience with Adobe After Effects and motion graphics.
• Strong shooting skills using both mobile and professional camera equipment.
• Good understanding of lighting, sound and production workflows.
• Proven experience creating content for premium, luxury or design-led brands.
• Strong visual taste and attention to detail.
• Ability to translate trends into brand-appropriate content.
• Experience developing social-first concepts and content formats.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• A genuine interest in design, innovation, lifestyle and premium consumer brands.

Nice to have:

• Experience within luxury, premium lifestyle, interiors, hospitality, automotive, fashion or consumer electronics brands.
• Experience working with creators and influencers.
• Photography skills.
• Experience with colour grading and premium post-production workflows.
• Up to date on the latest ai innovations in your field
