About The Position

Be the creative face of Pearson on social — owning bold, platform‑native content from concept to camera to global impact.

At Pearson, our purpose is simple: to help people realise the life they imagine through learning. As the world’s leading learning company, we create content, assessments, and digital experiences that support learners at every stage of life, around the world.

Through Pearson’s Brand Creative Studio and Social Media teams, we bring that purpose to life on social — translating ideas, research, and impact into culturally relevant, platform‑native content that meets audiences where they are.

As Advanced Specialist, Social Media Content Creator, you are a social‑first production expert and a visible creative voice for Pearson across our priority social channels.

This is a hands‑on, senior individual‑contributor role. You own the full content journey — from shaping ideas and writing scripts through filming, editing, captioning, and publishing. You are comfortable working independently, setting up your own camera, lighting, and audio, and delivering polished, high‑quality content without reliance on a traditional production crew.

A core part of the role is being on camera. You will regularly appear as a confident, credible brand ambassador, communicating Pearson’s ideas with clarity, warmth, and authority.

This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes social platforms, understands what performs where, and can execute quickly while maintaining strong creative and production standards.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a senior social media content creator or producer, with a portfolio demonstrating hands‑on, end‑to‑end execution
• Demonstrated ability to independently produce high‑quality social video content
• Strong technical production skills, including camera operation, lighting, audio, and framing
• Advanced understanding of social platforms, algorithms, formats, and performance drivers
• Confidence and credibility appearing on camera for a brand or organisation
• Excellent storytelling and copywriting skills
• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively within a global team

• Own the full content lifecycle: ideation, scripting, filming, editing, captioning, and delivery
• Produce short‑ and long‑form video content optimised for LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook
• Set up and operate your own camera, lighting, and audio — filming yourself or others, remotely or on location
• Edit and package content efficiently while maintaining a consistently high production standard
• Design supporting social assets including thumbnails, carousels, and static visuals

• Partner with subject‑matter experts to ensure accuracy while keeping content engaging and human
• Apply Pearson’s visual identity and tone of voice so content feels native to social — not overly corporate
