About the role
About the Opportunity
We're a fast-growing UK waste management marketplace, connecting customers with the right solution at the right time — quickly and seamlessly. We're building something genuinely different in a traditional industry, and content is at the heart of how we grow.
We're looking for a freelance content creator who can make people stop scrolling. Someone who understands short-form video, thinks in hooks, and can bring a brand to life with personality, wit, and clarity.
What You'll Create
- Short-form video content for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts — think fast, punchy, entertaining
- Static image content and graphics that carry the same visual identity
- Concepts that use humour and character to make our industry genuinely watchable
- Content tailored to specific customer types — you'll be briefed on who we're talking to
- A consistent brand voice that feels human, not corporate
What We're Looking For
- Proven track record creating short-form video content that performs (views, shares, engagement — not just aesthetics)
- A strong eye for storytelling — character consistency across cuts, natural pacing, genuine hooks
- Ability to research an unfamiliar industry and generate ideas independently
- Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate ideation, scripting, and production
- Self-directed — you won't be spoon-fed a brief every week
- UK market awareness is important for this role — our audience and context is very specifically British
The Assessment
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a practical task: create a short-form video concept for our brand. We'll be looking at your thinking as much as the output — concept, hook, audience awareness, and execution all count.
