Job Description

The Digital Content Intern will provide administrative and creative support to the King’s Business School Communications team to support the creation of its video, audio and photographic content. 



The role requires a highly organised individual who is able to manage and speed up processes required for creative media production. This role will also include opportunities for basic media production and editing, so would benefit a self-starter with an eye for design who may be interested in a future career in video and audio content creation.



King’s Business School undertakes ground-breaking research that improves the way people do business. And we engage with organisations around the world to create real value for society.



The Digital Content Intern will play an important role in helping us to communicate our research, student experience and world class education. We are a diverse and passionate community working to use our expertise to make the world a better place.

As an organised, creative and curious individual you will be someone who enjoys learning new tools and techniques. You will have strong existing digital skills and an ability to adapt your knowledge to new software and hardware.



Your technical adaptability will be complemented by an appreciation for how composition, colour, movement, sound, words and space can be applied across creative media. And what you don’t know, you’re keen to learn and explore.



This will be a hybrid role. Many tasks can be carried out from home, but the post holder will be required to come to Bush House and/or other locations to assist with media production or equipment maintenance where needed on an ad hoc basis. This will generally be during normal working hours, though we may occasionally ask you to support the team at evening events. A minimum of 2-3 days notice will be provided and we will seek to be flexible where possible.



Key responsibilities




  • Sourcing, managing and uploading digital assets and maintaining King’s Business School AV equipment. The post holder will be responsible for backing up the King’s Business School digital archive of footage, motion graphics, photography and permission forms and ensuring that licensing is logged and adhered to.

  • Practical assistance on shoots with the Digital Officer. From helping to carry and set up lights, sound and camera equipment, to liaising with talent/interviewees, pursuing and storing permission forms and booking rooms for filming.

  • The creation or sourcing of digital assets using Adobe Photoshop, for use across social media, websites and animations.

  • Fulfilling some requests for content using a smartphone camera. Recording simple videos and taking photos to support the needs of the wider comms team and the needs of Student Experience, Marketing, Events and Executive Education teams to gather media which showcases key initiatives.

  • With training and support from the Digital Officer there will be the possibility of editing simple videos or podcasts according to a pre-defined process using software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Riverside.fm, Descript and Adobe Audition.

  • Any other administrative tasks required to support the smooth operation of content creation and management, for example; using, managing and updating tools and managing payments or invoices for services such as Frame.io, Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, Rev, Pond5 and Premium Beat.



The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.



The amount of hours worked is flexible up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. There is an expectation that the post holder will be available to work on some Thursdays and Fridays in any given month. And we would encourage attendance of one meeting with the wider Comms team each month. You will largely be supporting the Digital Officer in this role although support for other Comms team members would also be required.
