Advanced Specialist, Social Media Content Creator

About Pearson

At Pearson, our purpose is simple: to help people realise the life they imagine through learning. As the world’s leading learning company, we create content, assessments, and digital experiences that support learners at every stage of life, around the world.

Through Pearson’s Brand Creative Studio and Social Media teams, we bring that purpose to life on social — translating ideas, research, and impact into culturally relevant, platform‑native content that meets audiences where they are.

About the Role

As Advanced Specialist, Social Media Content Creator, you are a social‑first production expert and a visible creative voice for Pearson across our priority social channels.

This is a hands‑on, senior individual‑contributor role. You own the full content journey — from shaping ideas and writing scripts through filming, editing, captioning, and publishing. You are comfortable working independently, setting up your own camera, lighting, and audio, and delivering polished, high‑quality content without reliance on a traditional production crew.

A core part of the role is being on camera. You will regularly appear as a confident, credible brand ambassador, communicating Pearson’s ideas with clarity, warmth, and authority.

This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes social platforms, understands what performs where, and can execute quickly while maintaining strong creative and production standards.

What You’ll Do

Social‑First Content Creation (End‑to‑End)

• Own the full content lifecycle: ideation, scripting, filming, editing, captioning, and delivery
• Produce short‑ and long‑form video content optimised for LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook
• Set up and operate your own camera, lighting, and audio — filming yourself or others, remotely or on location
• Edit and package content efficiently while maintaining a consistently high production standard
• Design supporting social assets including thumbnails, carousels, and static visuals
• Repurpose and adapt content across platforms with clear intent and platform‑specific nuance

Platform Expertise & Trend Awareness

• Stay ahead of social trends, creator techniques, and platform updates across LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Meta
• Experiment with new formats, storytelling approaches, and emerging platform features
• Review content performance and apply insights to continuously improve creative output

Collaboration & Brand Alignment

• Act as a bridge between Pearson’s Brand Creative Studio and Social Media teams
• Translate strategic briefs, campaigns, and brand priorities into compelling, social‑first content
• Partner with subject‑matter experts to ensure accuracy while keeping content engaging and human
• Apply Pearson’s visual identity and tone of voice so content feels native to social — not overly corporate

About You

You love making the work. You can take an idea from concept to scroll‑stopping social content without waiting on a crew. You are confident on camera, excited to be the face and voice of a global brand, and motivated by impact.

You care deeply about craft, move quickly, stay curious, and are energised by the pace and creativity of social.
