Want to do the best work of your life? With 24 million customers in 6 countries, make your mark at Europe’s leading media and entertainment brand. A workplace where you can proudly be yourself; our people make Sky a truly exciting and inclusive place to work.  

We’re looking for someone who gets social. How it’s consumed. What earns attention. What gets skipped. What makes someone pause mid-scroll and think, “okay fine, I’ll watch.” 

With 24 million customers across 7 countries, Sky is home to some of Europe’s biggest dramas, comedies and documentaries. Your job? Turn that world-class content into paid social creative that feels native to feed — not like it’s wandered in from TV. 

Make it feel like it belongs. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Develop platform first ideas across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat and whatever’s shaping culture next. 

  • Create paid social work that feels built for feed. Sharp, intentional, and impossible to ignore. 

  • Edit social-first video content in Adobe Premiere Pro to a strong, confident standard. 

  • Craft dynamic, social-native edits: split screens, punchy pacing, subtitles with personality, reactive formats and a little meme-adjacent instinct. 

  • Use reframing, hooks and platform behaviours to make every second count. 

  • Build smart, insight led decks and pitch ideas with clarity and confidence. 

  • Apply audience insight and social trends without chasing them blindly. 

  • Optimise assets for performance and platform best practice. 

  • Stay organised across multiple campaigns and moving timelines. 

  • Keep one eye on competitor output and one on what culture’s doing next, then turn that into better work. 

What You’ll Bring 

  • Extensive experience in an AV creative position with a strong understanding of paid social and platform specific storytelling. 

  • Experience in a content entertainment led environment is desirable.  

  • A solid working proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro with a body of work that demonstrates this. 

  • A working understanding of After Effects would be a plus but not essential.  

  • A good grasp of AV workflows and post-production processes. 

  • Up-to-date knowledge of social platforms, trends and evolving formats, plus the taste level to know what fits. 

  • The ability to turn a social-first brief into multiple smart, relevant routes. 

  • Confidence presenting and articulating your thinking. 

  • Strong organisation and the ability to juggle multiple deliverables. 

  • A collaborative mindset.  

  • A genuine interest in content led campaigns and a love of entertainment, especially drama, comedy and documentaries. 

This role is for someone who knows: 

Social has its own language. 
Attention is earned in seconds. 
Entertainment marketing works best when it actually feels entertaining. 

If that sounds like you, let’s make work people don’t scroll past.
