Do you know what it takes to create video content that engages with audiences across all digital channels?

We’re looking for a Videographer who can bring Skipton Building Society to life for a digital audience. We want someone who has the technical skills and vision to give our campaigns and content a new edge.

We need someone who can take a video from start to finish – including storyboarding, planning, shooting and editing. They should be passionate enough to own video output for the business – developing guidelines and acting as sign off for short form video content created by our social media team.

So, if you have a passion for telling stories in ways people can truly buy in to, we want to hear from you.

Who Are We?

We know what you’re thinking. Where’s the fun in financial services?

Well, we’re different. We’re not a bank who puts profit before people. Whilst we’re the fourth biggest building society in the UK what makes us different is we’re owned by the people who save and borrow with us – our members. So, we care about the things they care about.

We also like to push the boundaries of that’s been done before. You may have seen us in the news earlier this year for our brand-new Track Record mortgage – the first mortgage of its kind designed specifically for renters who don’t have a deposit.

Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.

You’ll be joining SBS Creative, Skipton Building Society’s in-house creative department. There’s currently 8 of us – from copywriters to email developers to content producers – and we sit as part of the wider Marketing Communications team.

We’re not your typical in-house creative department. We want the best of both worlds – the excitement and social buzz of an agency with the control and freedom of in house. This role would allow you full ownership of the content you produce.

Think creative bravery mixed with 4 o’clock finishes.

Skipton Building Society is based in Skipton, North Yorkshire. It’s only a train ride from Leeds, but we’re conscious that as creatives, we want to be close to the Leeds advertising industry scene. So, we are exploring ways to do more regular work from a Leeds City Centre base.
