Creative Content Producer; Mid–Senior

• Location: Manchester (Hybrid)

SOMA is an event growth company helping event organisers, venues and artists around the world sell more tickets, build their audiences and grow more valuable businesses.

Fatsoma, our event growth and ticketing platform, sits within a broader ecosystem of products and services from SOMA. Alongside our technology, we provide managed marketing, education and bespoke platforms for ambitious event businesses.

We're building a Brand Studio — that sits at the heart of both businesses — responsible for telling great stories about our products, our customers and our company.

Those stories can take many forms: a beautifully-produced customer film, a product walkthrough, an interview, a long-form article, a motion-led launch film, a behind-the-scenes story, a social series, a short-form ad or a newsletter.

We're looking for a Creative Content Producer to help us turn those ideas into things people can actually see, read and watch. This is a hands-on role combining creative production, video production and content publishing
.

You’ll own the journey from an initial story or idea through planning, production and delivery: creating schedules, organising shoots, directing people on camera, coordinating designers and motion designers, contributing to copy and storyboards, working with freelancers where needed, filming and editing content yourself, and making sure the finished work gets published across the right channels.

You’ll also play a big part in shaping how the Brand Studio operates. This is a new function, so we're not looking for someone to simply step into an established production process. You'll help us build it: developing how we plan and prioritise work, how we run shoots, what we bring in-house, how we work with external partners, and how we turn great ideas into a consistent rhythm of high-quality output.

Most importantly, you’ll bring momentum and structure. When we decide a story is worth telling, you’ll help make sure it actually gets made, and made really well.

• Gather and turn story ideas and ad briefs into a clear and achievable production schedule.
• Own the Brand Studio content calendar: help prioritise and keep projects (video, written and web) moving from idea through production, review and publication.
• Break projects into practical requirements: people, locations, scripts, storyboards, design, motion, equipment, freelancers and timelines.
• Coordinate contributors and teams across the business.
• Organise client interviews, product shoots, studio bookings and on-location case studies.
• Manage and coordinate external production partners when we need additional support.
• Keep stakeholders informed and make sure approvals and feedback happen at the right time.
• Help build the production systems, processes and ways of working that will shape how the Brand Studio operates as it grows.

• You’ll also be one of the people actually making the work.
• You’ll personally shoot and edit much of our day-to-day video content, while producing and coordinating specialist external teams for more ambitious productions.
• Plan, shoot and edit high-quality brand and product video.
• Help draft and refine scripts and content writing.
• Work confidently with cameras, lighting and audio.
• Direct people on camera.
• Partner with our creative team on visual design and storyboarding.
• Help us build our video-production capability in-house while knowing when a project still warrants specialist external production.

• Manage the day-to-day publishing of Brand…
