Job description

This Social Media Content Creator role is a fantastic opportunity to combine your in-depth understanding of the different social media platforms and your creative approach to content creation strategies.

Greenpeace is an international network of non profit campaigning organisations operating in over 55 countries. Our independence and global reach enable us to stand for positive change through action in order to defend nature and promote peace. We investigate and expose global environmental problems, confront those in positions of power and present alternative solutions.

To inspire people to take action on environmental issues, we want you to create engaging and impactful content on Facebook, X (formally known as Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, Threads, plus emerging platforms. In doing so, you’ll be expected to draw on all your knowledge of the unique features and best practices for each platform, and to develop your ability to create appealing, informative copy, video and images that resonate with our audiences.

As a core member of our Social Response Team, you will play a key part in developing and delivering rapid-response social media content based on the daily news cycle and major events. You’ll also work with our video production team to produce high-quality videos that showcase the organisation's environmental campaigns and initiatives.

Location: Islington, London. Our hybrid working model enables us to enjoy the benefits of both office based and remote working. We ask that staff work from the office in Islington 40% of their time, with 20% required as a minimum. Reasonable adjustments as well as specific office based needs will be considered for those with long term health conditions and disabilities.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven experience creating engaging and evolving social media content across multiple platforms, including Facebook, X (formally known as Twitter), Instagram and TikTok.
  • Experience analysing and responding to opportunities in the news cycle to push key messages and drive engagement – ideally on the environment and politics.
  • Ability to conceptualise and produce rapid response videos that resonate with target audiences to drive engagement – ideally including presenting on-camera.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to craft compelling captions, video scripts and talking points.
  • Ability to analyse and draw insights from metrics and apply to future content.
  • Understanding of how Greenpeace’s anti-racism commitments and the broader principles of justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and safety apply to social media.
  • Flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends, particularly during campaign launches or events – plus willingness to travel occasionally.

We give you:

You’ll be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of the wide range of learning and development opportunities available to our staff. We offer great benefits such as a generous pension scheme, subsidised lunches, free yoga and a wealth of well-being resources, just to name a few. Take a look at our Work for Greenpeace pages to find out more about what it’s like to work for us and why you should apply.

We are happy to consider flexible working requests as part of the recruitment process. 

Our commitment to diversity: Greenpeace UK is committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background. We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in environmental and campaigning organisations and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people of colour; people with disabilities; people who identify as being LGBTQIA; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class now or in the past.
