Social Media and Content Producer

At Energy Systems Catapult we're looking for a Social Media and Content Producer to join our Marketing and Communications team.

Want to help shape the story of how the UK builds a cleaner, fairer energy system? And, support the innovative new businesses to launch their products and services to achieve that? We're looking for a curious, organised and creative Social Media and Content Producer to join our Marketing and Communications (Mar Comms) team at Energy Systems Catapult.

This isn't a "schedule a few posts and go home" role. You'll take complex ideas from the worlds of science, data and R&D and turn them into content people want to stop and watch, read and share. One day you'll be writing a sharp Linked In post about a breakthrough clean-tech business, the next you'll be cutting a short video, turning a heavy dataset into a digestible animation, or helping produce our brand-new podcast.

You'll join a friendly, nine person Mar Comms team who look out for each other, share the load and pull together to hit our deadlines. As a team, we’re super-supportive of each other, and we firmly believe great work comes from a joyful environment. (We’re the noisy always laughing team.)

You'll get support when you need it and plenty of chances to bring your own ideas to the table.
