About Giant Group: We believe in a world where businesses can engage and manage global talent without any barriers. Established in 1992, Giant Group is a workforce management platform and solutions provider. Our purpose is to support businesses with compliant and efficient solutions ranging from applicant tracking, supply chain management and screening, through to time management, billing and payroll, and a range of employment options, all on a global basis. About the role: As a Media Marketing Apprentice, you're joining at a good time. We're rebuilding how marketing operates from the ground up, launching a new site, and working through a full rebrand. That means there's real work to get stuck into from day one, and genuine space to shape how we show up. This role sits at the intersection of video, content and technology: picking up a camera and making things people actually want to watch, while getting under the bonnet of the tools and data that make it all work. Video is central to what we're building, and this role drives that content forward. Key responsibilities of the role include: Video and media production: Own video production end to end. That means operating the camera, setting up shots, managing lighting and audio, and editing the final cut. Direct people on camera. You know how to put someone at ease in front of a lens, guide them through what's needed, and get a strong result even when they're not used to being filmed. Handle the basics of a shoot setup: framing, lighting, audio levels, and being able to problem-solve on the day when things don't go to plan. Social media, performance and experimentation: Take ownership of our social channels, keeping them active, on-brand, and worth following. You'll plan and schedule content, spot what's gaining traction, and adapt accordingly. Run experiments. Test different hooks, formats, and posting times. Be willing to kill what isn't working and double down on what is. You will need the following skills: Ideally you would have a genuine interest in video and content creation, with some hands-on experience behind a camera. You don't need a broadcast reel, but you should have shot and edited something. You can only excel in this role if you are curious, proactive, and genuinely interested in how content and social media work. Comfortable with data: you don't need to be an analyst, but you should be able to look at how content performed and draw conclusions from it. Open to new tools and platforms: you enjoy figuring out how things work and aren't put off by a growing tech. We use Matomo, Webflow, Canva, HubSpot, Aha!, tl;dv, SE Ranking, n8n, and a growing set of AI tools. You don't need to know all of these coming in. Easy to work with: you ask when you're unsure, take feedback well, and don't take yourself too seriously. Here for the right reasons: you want to work in marketing and make the most of real exposure early on. Entry requirements: 3 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades 4+ (A-C) in any subject GCSE Maths and English (or equivalents) at grades 3+ (D or above) Prospective apprentices must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level as this apprenticeship in a similar subject You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme. If you hold international equivalents of the above qualifications, at the time of your application you must be able to provide an official document that states how your international qualifications compare to the UK qualifications. For more information please visit the UK ENIC website. Working hours: 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, hybrid working (covering home, UK based travel and Manchester office) Benefits: Holiday: 31 days leave, increasing 1 day per year to 34 days (including UK public Holidays) Giant advantage discount platform Employee assistance program Pension salary sacrifice Birthday leave Day off for charity work Buy holidays Enhanced maternity & paternity pay Support for parents returning to work Soft loans Role related training & paid studies Social events Future prospects & training: You have a number of career paths at Giant, whether that's growing into a Marketing Executive or Content Manager role as the team expands, or moving into a specialist digital or video role within the group. We're actively rebuilding how marketing operates, which means the opportunities you create in this role today are likely to shape what exists to step into tomorrow. You can achieve this by consistently meeting or exceeding your objectives, growing in your role, and demonstrating the Giant people values. We will provide you with product, operational and technical training across the full marketing tech stack, and a dedicated learning and development budget to ensure that you feel confident to add value through better content, stronger social presence, and through efficient marketing that supports Giant's growth. About QA: Our apprenticeships are the perfect way to gain new skills, earn while you learn, and launch yourself into an exciting future. With over 50,000 successful apprenticeship graduates, we're a top 50 training provider, dedicated to helping you succeed. Interested? Apply now!
