Social Media Producer (KISS) London 2023

We are looking for a Social Media Producer to join the team at KISS.

This is an exciting opportunity to create social media content for one of the UK’s biggest radio networks. As a Social Media Producer you will be planning and creating digital content for our stations KISS and KISS Fresh, working with our presenters, artists and entertainment talent to bring the brand to life for our 15 to 35-year-old digital audience.

Reporting into the Digital Editor, you will develop social and video content ideas and work closely alongside the other digital creators to bring these to life. You will also be collaborating with other teams around the KISS network including Marketing, Programming, Music and commercial. A knowledge of radio or broadcasting is a plus but not essential, we’re looking for creative and ambitious talent from any background.

The successful candidate will be passionate and knowledgeable about social media, understanding how to utilise digital platforms reach and engage with our target audiences across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. You have a passion and keen eye for internet culture, online trends, music and entertainment, and can quickly and easily turn this into compelling social media content.

This is a hands-on production role. You will be planning and producing content as much as you will be capturing and editing it. We’re looking for someone who can have an idea and turn it around themselves. You are somebody who is confident and shows initiative in bringing fresh thoughts to the table, and able to build working relationships with both our talent and the wider KISS team.

This is a hybrid working role between home and our office in London.
