Digital Content Creator (Video, Photo & Social Media) – In-Person

Overview

We are a private college seeking a creative and hands-on Digital Content Creator with a strong focus on video, photography, and social media storytelling to bring our brand and student experience to life across digital channels.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives behind the camera and in the edit suite, capturing authentic moments and transforming them into engaging, social-first content. Design skills — including presentations and marketing materials — are important, but the core of the role is visual content creation and storytelling.

You will play a key role in how we communicate internationally and locally — dynamically, visually, and consistently — across campaigns, recruitment, events, and day-to-day student life.

• Own the full video production process from concept to delivery: shooting, editing, sound, colour, captions, and formatting for different platforms.
• Capture content in real-time on campus, identifying opportunities for spontaneous and trend-driven content.
• Repurpose video content into multiple formats to maximise reach and performance.

Photography & Visual Capture (Strong Focus)

• Plan and schedule content aligned with campaigns, events, and recruitment cycles.
• Adapt content to platform-specific formats and trends.
• Monitor performance and contribute ideas to improve engagement and reach.
• Assist with captions, storytelling, and content planning.

Design, Presentations & Marketing Materials (Secondary Focus)

• Create clear, professional, and on-brand visual assets to support communications, including:
• social media graphics and templates
• brochures, prospectuses, and simple promotional materials
• presentations for internal and external audiences (e.g., recruitment, partnerships)
• Structure presentations with strong visual hierarchy and clarity, turning information into engaging slides.
• Ensure consistency across materials using brand guidelines and templates.
• Support the development of reusable templates for presentations and documents.

Collaboration & Workflow

• Work closely with the Director of International Relations and other teams to align content with priorities.
• Contribute to content ideas, campaigns, and editorial calendars.
