Kerrang! is hiring a videographer / editor

Kerrang! is looking for an experienced videographer and editor to join our growing team. The role will start at three days per week in our London office.

As part of the Kerrang! team you will help to bring our original and commercial video projects to life. But this is not only a supporting role, you will also be capable of taking the lead on shoots when necessary.

You will work with the creative team to produce and develop our K! Pit video series as well as developing and producing new video franchises. It is important that you have a strong affinity to the Kerrang! world and a deep love and understanding of alternate culture and music.
