Your responsibilities

We want to show our story to the world, and we're looking for someone who can turn campus life into YouTube videos and Instagram content people actually want to watch.

As Social Media & Video Content Creator, you will work with the Marketing team to build 42 Berlin's YouTube channel, our focus channel, and to film, edit and publish video and Instagram content that shows what it is really like to learn at 42 Berlin.

Tasks include, but are not limited to:

Plan, film and edit videos for our YouTube channel: student stories, project walkthroughs, "how 42 works" explainers and event recaps
Turn each long video into Shorts and Reels, so one shoot feeds YouTube and Instagram
Write YouTube titles, descriptions and thumbnails that get clicks, and keep playlists tidy
Capture key moments on campus: Piscines, events, evaluations, hackathons and community gatherings
Publish posts, Reels and Stories on 42 Berlin's Instagram, including captions and hashtags
Keep a simple content calendar and post consistently on both channels
Interview students, staff and partners on camera and help them feel comfortable
Track basic performance (views, watch time, subscribers, reach) and share what works with the Marketing team
Keep raw footage and published assets organised and easy to find
