Otio Academy is looking for a talented, ambitious and creative Social Media Video Creator to produce short-form video content for a growing UK education brand.
This is not a basic Canva template role.
We are looking for someone who understands hooks, storytelling, short-form video pacing, captions, subtitles, editing, content angles and how to make educational content feel engaging online.
You will work directly with the founder of Otio Academy, an internationally recognised marketing leader with 51 international awards.

If you are ambitious, coachable and serious about building a real career in marketing, content and social media, this could be a very strong opportunity for you.
The Role:
You will create, edit, schedule and improve short-form video content for Otio Academy across platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts,
The content will be aimed at students, parents, schools, sports academies and education partners.
You will help turn educational ideas, study advice, academy updates, student support messages and marketing angles into strong short-form content.
