Creative Content Manager

Overview

Ticketdotter is a live event ticketing and management platform built for event promoters. We cover live music, comedy, boxing, sports events, business conferences, and more. We are live, bootstrapped, and growing — having processed ticket sales across many events, with 200+ promoters on the platform, partnerships with O2 Academy Bristol and the Association of Independent Music, all without spending a penny on paid marketing or content creation. This role exists because we are ready to change that. We need someone who can look at what Ticketdotter is building, understand it instinctively, and translate it into content that stops people scrolling.

The role

What you'll do

• Independently develop content concepts and creative ideas aligned with Ticketdotter's brand, platform features, and target audience
• Build and pitch monthly content plans covering short-form video, behind-the-scenes content, testimonials, product walkthroughs, and trend-led formats
• Stay ahead of content trends on Instagram Reels and TikTok and apply them to the Ticketdotter brand authentically
• Develop ongoing content series and recurring formats that build audience habit and brand recognition
• Translate platform features — 48-hour payouts, revenue-to-creative, SMS/email database access, free websites — into compelling visual content people actually want to watch
• Film all content yourself using a phone or camera — this is a self-shooting role
• Attend Ticketdotter events, partner venue activations, and shoots when required within the hours allocation
• Direct any talent, promoters, or contributors who appear in content — manage the shoot independently from set-up to wrap
• Ensure all filmed content meets platform-specific technical requirements (aspect ratios, resolution, length)
• Build a library of reusable B-roll, brand footage, and event content for use across campaigns
• Edit all filmed content to a high standard — clean cuts, good pacing, captions, music, and on-brand graphics
• Produce finished Reels, TikToks, Stories, and longer-form content ready for upload or scheduling
• Create text overlays, animated captions, and branded lower thirds consistent with Ticketdotter's visual identity
• Deliver a set number of finished assets per week within the 10-hour allocation
• Maintain an organised content library of raw footage and finished edits
• Work closely with the CEO and founding team to ensure content reflects the platform's tone — confident, direct, built for the events world
• Feed insights back from content performance to inform future creative decisions
• Identify opportunities for collaborations, UGC partnerships, and creator partnerships within the events industry
• Contribute to wider marketing conversations with creative ideas beyond the camera

About you

• A strong portfolio of self-shot, self-edited short-form video content
• Proven ability to develop original concepts without being briefed from scratch
• Comfortable filming alone — on the street, at events, in studio or informal settings
• Proficient in mobile or camera video editing (CapCut, Premiere Rush, Final Cut, or similar)
• Natural understanding of what works on Instagram Reels and TikTok — format, hook, pacing, sound
• Ability to manage a 10-hour week independently and deliver consistently without being chased
• Genuine interest in live events, music, nightlife, or the creative industry

Experience that helps (but isn't required)

• Experience creating content for a brand, agency, or platform in the events or entertainment space
• Your own equipment — phone with a strong camera, ring light, stabiliser, or mirrorless camera
• Experience directing other people on camera — promoters, artists, or talent
• Familiarity with Canva or motion graphics for branded overlays and thumbnails
• A network within the UK events, music, or nightlife scene
• Experience with content scheduling tools and basic analytics interpretation
• Understanding of UGC creator strategies and influencer collaboration

Terms & important information

Hours and structure

This is a part-time role of 10 hours per week. Hours are flexible and self-managed — there are no set shifts or required login times. Output is what matters. You are expected to deliver a consistent volume of finished content each week and be responsive to feedback and communication from the founding team.

Rate and payment

The rate is £16.00 per hour, equivalent to £160.00 per week and approximately £693.00 per month at 10 hours per week. Payment is made monthly in arrears via BACS bank transfer on receipt of a valid invoice. As a self-employed contractor you are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance contributions.

Equipment

You are expected to provide your own filming and editing equipment. Ticketdotter will not supply equipment as part of this engagement. If a specific shoot requires equipment beyond what you own, this should be discussed in advance with the CEO.

Remote and on-location working

The role is primarily remote. Some content will require you to be present at events, venues, or shoots in person. Travel and attendance requirements will be communicated in advance and factored into the weekly hours allocation. Travel expenses for agreed shoots may be reimbursed — to be agreed on a case-by-case basis.

Intellectual property

All content created for Ticketdotter under this engagement — including raw footage, edited video, concepts, and creative materials — is the intellectual property of Ticketdotter Ltd from the point of creation. You may list work produced for Ticketdotter in your portfolio unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Path to full-time

This part-time role is the starting point, not the ceiling. We are building a team and want the people who come in early to grow with us. The right Creative Content Manager who hits their targets, understands the brand, and brings genuine creative energy to the role will be offered full-time employment as the business scales.

KPIs & path to full-time

Performance will be reviewed monthly against the KPIs below. Consistent delivery, creative quality, and demonstrable impact on platform growth will form the basis of a conversation about transitioning into a full-time employed role.

KPIs will be reviewed and adjusted as the role evolves and the platform grows. Any changes will be agreed in writing.

How to apply

1. Send a showreel or links to 3–5 pieces of self-shot, self-edited content you are proud of — ideally short-form video

3. Share one content concept you would create for Ticketdotter in your first week and why it would work
4. Email tai@ticketdotter.com with subject line: Creative Content Manager Application. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a short video call with the CEO.
