Video Producer – KISS

We are an ambitious visual content team looking for a video producer with brilliant creative and video production skills to join our squad in London!

KISS is an experience and a fun place to be. We value realness and passion. We always have something relevant to tell you about. A place where everyone is welcome. We like a laugh but we’re always kind and promise to practice what we preach. We’re honest and we have opinions. We are on your level and will earn your attention never demand it. We will never stand still. We will always hold up great talent we believe in. Above all music is our life.

Reporting into the KISS Head of Social & Video, you’ll be creating stand-out visual content for our 15-35-year-old online audience. This role will focus on creating content for our biggest show, KISS Breakfast with Jordan & Perri, as well as creating social and video content for the rest of the KISS Network, and at our brand-owned events in the UK and abroad.

Whether in the studio, on location, through a green screen or even remotely, you have a passion for, and expert knowledge of, short-form video and its potential to both drive awareness of KISS and create an emotional connection with our audience. You will understand video’s role in increasing our social following, as well as driving revenue and you have experience creating commerical video content.

You are highly creative, you always have a new idea to share, plus you can forward plan for bigger and more ambitious projects. You’re naturally curious and always want to learn something new, then share it with those around you. You’re clued into the social media landscape and evolution of video platforms like YouTube and TikTok, and are constantly adapting your ideas and ways of working to maximise the reach and engagement of the content you create. You are experienced at developing hero ideas and content formats, and you can spot opportunities on the fly.

This is a very collaborative role that works closely with teams throughout KISS including Programming, Marketing and Music. It’s a hands-on and varied role – centred around filming, editing, producing and brainstorming. You will be working mainly in the office, but there is flexibility for some working from home.

You have experience filming with a variety of equipment (we use Canon and Sony cameras at KISS) and are confident in setting up and monitoring lighting and sound.

You have an in-depth knowledge of all social platforms and how to edit for each, from TikTok to IGTV to Twitter you have it nailed!

You are proficient at using video editing software (Premiere Pro) and have experience with design, motion graphics and animation (Photoshop, After Effects).

You are always trying new things both on set and in the edit, and you want to stay ahead of the curve – creating innovative video that cuts through.

Finally, you have a genuine passion for KISS, music, entertainment and youth culture, and have your finger on the pulse of what our 15-35-year-old audience are engaging with and sharing online.
