• Keep abreast of new trends within video that will be relevant to our current users, and help us to attract new ones
• Facilitate our growth by steering video strategy based on YouTube best practice, analytics feedback and competitor analysis
• Report regularly on video output to the management team
• Lead the debrief of each video to ensure that all content published is of the required standard, and to take appropriate action if it isn’t

Location

F-At Digital is based in Bath, UK. While this role doesn’t necessarily require you to be based there, much of the video shooting is currently local to the office. You’ll be available at the office for a mutually agreed number of days per month – those days can be flexible and will include meetings with the editorial and commercial teams.

What’s it like to work at F-At Digital?

Founded by two cycling journalists, F-At Digital has always tried to recruit the best people, give them the best support, and let them get on with the job. Company culture is relaxed, friendly, flexible and above all, professional.

As a company we never lose sight of the fact that our sites are nothing without the people that write and produce them, and that we’re all part of a team – something that’s even more important when you’re part of a team that’s spread right across the UK and beyond.

While remote and hybrid working have been a part of how we operate since the company was founded in 2008, we also recognise that some people like to work in an office, or that circumstances might mean you need to switch things around once in a while too. That's all fine by us – we’ve found that whatever works for you tends to work for us too.

How to apply

To apply for the role, email us at recruitment@fat.digital with:

• Your CV and a covering letter
• A showreel showcasing your skills in front of the camera (if you have one)

The deadline for applications is Friday 4th April 2025. Interviews will take place W/C 7th April 2025. 

We're looking forward to hearing from you. Best of luck to all applicants!
