Performance Content Creator (Paid Social)

At Simmer, we're building the future of healthy, high-flavour, feel-good eating. With tens of thousands of subscribers and a mission to make better food easier for everyone, we're scaling fast, and we're just getting started.

Number 5 in the Sunday Times's fastest growing companies, we're backed by impressive growth, an engaged community, and a product that makes healthy eating accessible for everyone, even those with no time.

We're now looking for a creative force to help bring the Simmer story to life across every touchpoint. Someone who gets culture, loves storytelling, and can make content that actually stops the scroll.

Now, we're looking for a performance focused Content Creator to join our newly established Growth team. This isn't just a "make pretty content" role. This is to create content that wins, content that converts, that drives growth, that sets the pace others follow. If you live and breathe TikTok/Reels/Meta, love testing ideas fast, and want your work to directly fuel the growth of one of the UK's most exciting food brands, this is it.

You'll report to the Growth Lead- Digital Marketing but work super closely with our brand team and founder. Your job: ideate from scratch and turn it into scroll-stopping, thumb-stopping, converting content.

In short: this is a role for creators who want their work to matter. If you're restless, hungry, and obsessed with making content that grows brands, you'll thrive at Simmer.

• End-to-end content production: from concept to post, scripting and planning social-first ideas that convert (especially paid UGC-style content for Meta and TikTok).
• Scriptwriting : Writing compelling, performance-minded scripts that tap into emotion, relatability, and attention psychology; you'll learn the true Simmer way of writing scripts and be able to elevate them.
• Trend hunting and idea generation: Constantly be researching - finding new ad formats and concepts then turning them around into your own winning ad creatives.

• Running shoots: sourcing talent, booking locations, building shot lists, and running a smooth day on set - even stepping in front of camera when needed.
• Editing with intent: Edit content for paid and organic channels, turning raw footage into sharp, high-performing assets with strong hooks, pacing, and CTA structure.
• Collaborating : work closely with the Social Media Manager to turn insights into action and ensure content aligns with what's trending or performing.
• Leveling up systems: Work with editors, videographers, and performance teams to elevate concepts and absorb feedback that sharpens your creative instincts - bring new ideas to ways of working, systems and processes if you see a gap or feel there's a better, more efficient way.
• Performance tracking and iteration: across campaigns and iterate on what's working - from angles to edits to scripts, and be hungry to search out this information and insight.
• Supporting across storytelling formats: Help bring branded content, founder content, and community-facing storytelling to life - from lo-fi to hero.

• 2+ years creating performance-led short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Meta) with a portfolio of ads that drove results.
• Obsessed with social storytelling - you know how to grab attention and turn it into action.
• Comfortable scripting, shooting, editing (Premiere Pro, CapCut, in-platform or similar).
• Always-on trend awareness - you live on social media and know what's cutting through today.
• A self-starter who thrives on moving fast, from zero brief to first cut without hand-holding.
• Performance mindset: you care about data, want to see results, and iterate for the next win.
• Collaborative and confident: able to direct talent/founders or jump on camera yourself.
• Hungry to grow: this is a role where impact gets rewarded (including performance-based pay).

We're not your average company, and this isn't your average role.

• You'll be creating content that's directly responsible for scaling Europe's fastest-growing food brand.
• You'll get performance-based pay tied to winning content, because great ads should be rewarded.
• No politics, just pace. We move fast and set the pace for others to follow.
• You'll be part of a playbook that doesn't just follow trends but sets them.

The perks:

• Unlimited holiday (within reason).
• Quarterly team offsites & a London office hub.
• Loads of Simmer meals and early access to new launches.
• A chance to help shape a generational consumer brand.
