The Royal Household is recruiting its first dedicated videographer as it looks to expand the Royal Family’s digital presence across social media platforms, marking a significant step in the evolution of royal communications.
The newly-created permanent position, based at Buckingham Palace within the Private Secretary’s Office, will see the successful candidate produce video and photographic content for the Royal Family’s official social media channels, including Instagram, X and YouTube.
With millions of followers across its digital platforms, the Royal Household has increasingly embraced social media to share engagements, state occasions and behind-the-scenes moments with audiences around the world. The creation of a dedicated videographer role is the first time such a specialist position has been advertised by the Royal Household.
The successful applicant will be responsible for planning, filming, editing and publishing content from royal visits, major ceremonial events and official initiatives across the UK and, occasionally, overseas.
The job advert says the role will take a “social-first approach to storytelling”, creating content designed specifically for digital audiences while ensuring it remains “engaging, creative and impactful”.
As well as covering high-profile engagements, the videographer will be expected to develop innovative content ideas, identify stories from across the Royal Household, train colleagues in content creation and help shape future investment in filming equipment.
Applicants are expected to have extensive experience creating social media content, with strong skills in professional camera operation, lighting and audio, alongside expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
The Royal Household is offering a starting salary of £52,000 a year for the full-time permanent position, based at Buckingham Palace.
