- Role in the organisation:
This position typically sits within the marketing, brand, or promotions function, working closely with the venue manager, marketing manager, social media team, and event/promotions team. In smaller operations, the role may report directly to the General Manager or Marketing Director. In larger venues, it may report to a Content Lead, Brand Manager, or Head of Marketing.
- Key responsibilities:
- Capture high-quality photos and video footage during club nights, special events, guest arrivals, performances, VIP moments, and branded activations.
- Produce content that aligns with the venue’s image, marketing campaigns, and social media strategy.
- Edit and deliver media promptly for use across digital channels, paid promotions, websites, event listings, and internal archives.
- Work discreetly and professionally in a crowded, high-energy environment while maintaining guest comfort and venue etiquette.
- Coordinate with promoters, DJs, entertainers, and management to identify key moments and ensure coverage of priority content.
- Maintain equipment, organise files, and uphold content quality, brand consistency, and legal/privacy guidelines.
- What success looks like:
The ideal person is creative, technically skilled, and highly adaptable under pressure. They understand nightlife culture, know how to work in low-light and high-motion conditions, and can anticipate moments before they happen. Strong communication, self-management, time discipline, and an eye for brand storytelling are essential. Success in this role also depends on professionalism, discretion, reliability, and the ability to deliver polished content quickly in a dynamic, late-night setting.
