About the Employer
GRADED FILMS LTD
About Graded Films
Graded Films is an independent and award winning film and video production company based in Arundel, West Sussex.
Our work spans commercial campaigns, branded content and video for the arts. Alongside this, we're investing heavily in scripted television and feature film development, with multiple projects currently in active production development.
As the business evolves, we're looking for someone who wants to help tell that story and grow with the company into its next era.
The creative industries are changing rapidly. Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way businesses communicate, research opportunities, create content, understand audiences and build lasting client relationships.
At Graded, we believe AI should enhance creativity, not replace it. We're looking for someone who shares that mindset and is excited to explore how emerging technology can help a creative business grow.
Working closely with our production and post team, you'll help develop our marketing strategy, strengthen our digital presence and experiment with new AI-powered workflows that improve the way we market our work and engage with prospective clients.
This is far more than a social media role. You'll have the opportunity to influence how Graded presents itself to the world as we continue our evolution from a video production company into a business producing high-end commercial work, scripted television and feature films.
You'll be encouraged to question existing processes, test new ideas and become an important voice within the business.

Has a genuine interest in AI and how it can be applied within the creative industries.
Enjoys solving problems and finding smarter ways of working.
Loves marketing, storytelling and communication.
Is naturally curious and enjoys experimenting with new technology.
Is organised and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
Can work independently while collaborating effectively within a creative team.
Has excellent written communication skills.
Wants to build a long-term career within the film and television industry.
Is excited about helping shape the future of a growing production company.
