About the role

Create short, vertical videos (primarily for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) that explain EU and European developments in a clear and creative way.
Pitch and develop video formats that match our tone: informative, smart, and engaging – never dry or condescending.

Film, edit, and produce 3-4 videos per week, from scripting and narration to basic animation or on-screen text.
Spot opportunities to respond quickly to trending topics with timely, relevant explainer content.
Help build a recognisable, trustworthy video identity for The European Correspondent.
