The King and Queen are looking for a videographer to create “on trend content” from their public engagements and behind-the-scenes in a royal first for their team of aides.
The successful candidate will work with the Royal Communications team at Buckingham Palace and will play a key role in helping the royals connect with audiences around the world through their digital platforms.
The full-time role, which comes with an annual salary of up to £52,000, will involve capturing moments from day-to-day outings to major state events, which is likely to include annual highlights like Trooping the Colour.
According to the job description, the applicant will use their “creativity to bring stories to life” and “inspire millions through powerful visual content” as well as having a “passion for storytelling”. Perks of the role include 25 days’ of annual leave and a free lunch every day.
