At YBS Studio, we believe great creative can spark change. And we’re building a team that’s ready to do just that. If you love bringing ideas to life through design, storytelling, animation, or video you’ll feel right at home with us.
We’re a newly reinvented inhouse studio with big ambition. This is our moment to show what an inhouse team can really do: bold thinking, smart craft and work that makes a real difference to real people.
We mix the best bits of agency life with the purpose and focus of working inhouse. Energy without the ego. Creativity without the chaos. A place where you can do work, you’re proud of, with likeminded people.
As part of the expansion to the in house studio, we’re launching two brandnew Content Creator roles, offering a rare opportunity to help shape our content from the ground up. These roles are ideal for creative selfstarters who want the freedom to experiment, bring ideas to life endtoend, and truly make the role their own while having a real impact on how our brand is seen and experienced.
This is a hybrid opportunity, you would be required to be on site in Leeds 2 times per week. There will also be a requirement to travel to our other sites and branches in the UK.
About the Role
This role is focused on capturing and telling the human stories behind YBS’ culture, brand and leadership through highquality, authentic video content. It’s a highly visible, handson role that will suit someone who enjoys being out in the business, working flexibly, and bringing stories to life wherever they happen.
This is a highly varied role with briefs coming from all areas of the business, so you’ll need to be comfortable creating a wide range of content. One day you may be producing brandled storytelling or internal messages that communicate our purpose; the next, covering major moments like our AGM or supporting crossbusiness campaigns. You’ll lead endtoend video production, shaping concepts, filming on location and editing final assets with regular travel across our head offices, branches and event locations. You’ll also scout realworld settings that add authenticity to our storytelling, adapting your approach to different environments and audiences.
You’ll get strong exposure to senior stakeholders across the business, regularly filming with members of our Executive Committee and leaders from key functions. You’ll need to be confident engaging with senior colleagues, helping them feel at ease on camera while translating strategic, cultural and brand messages into engaging, human stories that feel credible and true to life.
You’ll help raise the bar for inhouse video production at YBS by delivering highquality work across varied briefs, bringing fresh ideas, and contributing to the overall creative direction alongside our Creative Lead. By championing creative quality, applying brand guidelines, making confident creative decisions and refining content based on insight and feedback, you’ll play a key role in modernising how we tell our story and reducing our reliance on external production.
About You
- Experience of end to end content creating including planning, script writing, filming and editing video content, often on location and in fastmoving environments.
- Expertise in colour grading, sound mixing and after effects or motion graphics experience.
- Experience in preproduction logistics, equipment preparation and comfortable location scouting (when needed to film outside of branch and had office) and equipment preparation.
- Comfortable adapting content to different channels and devices.
- A highly selfmotivated approach, with the ability to work independently, manage open briefs and adapt to changing filming schedules.
- Experience working in a regulated environment with compliance is a plus.
Please note, if you’re invited to interview, we’ll ask to see a small portfolio or a few examples of your work.
