Senior Content Producer, Dazed 

We are looking for a Senior Content Producer to lead the creation of a new long-form, social-first show for Dazed. Reporting to the Content Strategy Director, this role is a rare opportunity to originate and own a recurring series from the ground up: shaping the concept, defining the creative language, building the production workflow, and delivering standout episodes that grow our audience and strengthen the Dazed brand.

You will be responsible for taking a bold editorial idea and turning it into a repeatable, high-performing show with a clear point of view, consistent quality, and cultural resonance. Working closely with Editorial, Social and Commercial teams, you will ensure the series feels distinctly Dazed, is platform-native across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and emerging channels, and is designed to travel while remaining sponsor-friendly and creatively credible.

Alongside owning this new show end-to-end, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering Dazed’s wider social video output. This includes ideating original social video franchises, producing, shooting and editing long- and short-form content, and contributing to the evolution of Dazed’s video strategy across long-form episodes, Shorts and series-based formats. 

This role is perfect for a producer who thrives on ideation, loves the craft of making, and is confident in balancing full ownership of a flagship format with hands-on collaboration across the wider video slate.

What you’ll do

• Ideate, develop and execute innovative social video formats for long-form and episodic content.

• Lead the production of social video content, including concept development, shooting, editing and optimisation for platform performance and audience growth.

• Translate editorial features, print stories and cultural coverage into engaging video-first narratives while maintaining Dazed’s tone of voice and creative authority.

• Produce high-quality social-first video content for platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and YouTube Shorts, ensuring each output is platform-native.

• Work closely with the Dazed Social team to plan, produce and publish content across daily, weekly and long-term content calendars.

• Collaborate across editorial, print and commercial teams to deliver integrated video content that supports broader Dazed projects, campaigns and partnerships.

• Support commercial and branded projects by producing YouTube and social content that aligns with client objectives while protecting editorial integrity and audience trust.

• Stay ahead of platform changes, creator trends and audience behaviours, particularly within YouTube’s evolving creator and culture space, identifying opportunities for new formats and growth.

• Manage multiple productions simultaneously, balancing reactive cultural moments with planned long-form YouTube output.

• Be flexible to work some evenings and weekends to support shoots, premieres, events and fast-moving cultural moments.

• Act as a creative ambassador for Dazed across social and video platforms, championing brand values, visual identity and editorial standards.

What you’ll need

• 3+ years experience in a similar social video producer, video producer or digital content role, with demonstrable experience producing flagship YouTube content.

• Clear hands-on experience shooting and editing both short-form and long-form video.

• Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Suite for video editing and post production when required.

• Proven knowledge of platform-specific best practices across YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram and TikTok.

• A deep interest in youth culture and how fashion, music, art and internet culture translate into compelling video narratives.

• Creatively and culturally fluent, confident in experimenting with new formats and storytelling approaches.

• Highly organised, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced, reactive environment.

• A collaborative team player with the confidence to work independently and push ideas forward.

• Strong communication skills, able to pitch concepts clearly and work cross-functionally.

• Flexible and adaptable, with the willingness to work outside standard hours when required. 

• Proactive, curious and invested in the evolution of social and video culture.
