A Creative Producer at Small Axe works within our Campaigns Delivery team. This core team and extended network is made up of campaigners, digital experts, designers, press advisors, filmmakers and content creators who work collaboratively to produce powerful campaigns.
A Creative Producer helps bring to life creative ideas and content across a variety of platforms and mediums to cut through the noise and move people to act on the most important issues of our time.
You will work flexibly across a variety of campaigns. From trade union actions like Amazon’s first unionisation drive in the UK, to issue campaigns like Free School Meals for All and dignity for refugees. You’ll produce high-quality digital fundraising content for the International Rescue Committee responding to global conflicts and crises.
Collaborating closely with our brilliant Campaigns Delivery team made up of campaigners, designers, a network of creatives, and a broad range of clients and partners, you’ll produce film, photography, graphics, websites, billboards, podcasts and more.
We’re looking for someone with at least 3-5 years of direct or transferable experience under their belt who can get stuck straight in. That could be in a creative or digital agency, in a studio, or in campaigning roles.
As a Creative Producer, you’ll join a multidisciplinary, integrated and highly collaborative delivery team, focused on winning progressive campaigns.
Please note that all creative roles at Small Axe require a DBS check - as much of our campaigning work takes place in schools. Small Axe will arrange DBS checks for new staff once they’re in post.
