This role is home & hub linked to our Canary Wharf hub, so you must be located in or around London.
You will be covering a Sunday - Saturday rota between 6am - 11pm, so flexibility is key.
About us

We're home to more than 120 brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like MyLondon, BelfastLive, and the Manchester Evening News, and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.
It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us Britain and Ireland's largest commercial news publisher. We reach around 70% of the UK's online population, 10% of the US online population, and over 100 million social followers around the world, connecting with them on who they are, where they live and what they love.
Your story, with Reach
As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.
We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.
We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
What will the role involve?
In this fast-paced role, you’ll source and edit high-quality, social-first content that aligns with our brand and editorial vision, from transforming long-form footage into snappy platform-native edits to recording punchy voiceovers and shooting original footage on location. You’ll use analytics and AI tools to optimise content creation, respond to breaking news, and deliver a high volume of quick-turnaround videos that resonate with audiences.
You’ll collaborate closely with editorial teams, ensuring every piece meets legal and copyright standards, and help grow our reach through engaging, trend-driven storytelling. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key part in building an inclusive, forward-thinking newsroom that reflects the diverse communities we serve.
What you'll need to succeed
The ideal candidate is a creative, social media–savvy video producer with strong knowledge of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, and X. You’ll have proven experience creating engaging content in a newsroom or breaking news environment, and you’ll be proficient in Premiere Pro (or similar). Strong planning, communication, and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with the ability to adapt to fast-changing digital trends.
A strong knowledge of media law is required.
How we'll look after you
We take good care of our people - and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:
25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
Big moment day - an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
Supportive and progressive people policies - we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait to join us to know what to expect from us, which is why we share this overview of the policies we have in place to support families and carers. If there's something you want to understand more about, just ask - it won’t make a difference to your application.
A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
