Film Maker

About us

Dyson is growing fast and our ambition is huge – more categories, more locations and more people. Our technology is unique and complex, so it’s up to us to explain it clearly. Working in-house, directly with engineers and the broader business, we create inspirational communications that showcase our technology.

We're committed to our campus culture and want to have people collaborating, developing, and learning from each other, five days a week. By having everyone on campus together, we have been able to nurture a fantastic social and dynamic environment.

About the role

As part of your application, we’d like to see evidence of your work, via a website or portfolio.

We need a brilliant new Film Maker, to work with the Dyson Film team on our Malmesbury campus in Wiltshire, making films that bring to life Dyson stories about our people and technology. You will work on new, exciting content projects, with a team of creatives and content specialists, and be part of an established Dyson Film team, providing support and equipment, all the time.

The work varies a lot; quirky social films, documentaries, animations, and inspiring technology films. We have our own on-site 2000 sq ft film studio in the UK, but we often shoot on location and, when needed, we work with external, specialist teams as well. This role will mainly be working on short-form documentaries, but with lots of room to experiment.

As a filmmaker you’ll craft beautiful films, innovating and turning projects around quickly, to a vast array of budgets and timescales. You’ll have enthusiasm for various filmmaking crafts: directing and shooting, but importantly editing engaging and authentic stories. Often you will work to a creative brief, but it’s important that you can come up with creative and experiment with your own ideas as well.

We’re looking for someone with proven shooting and story-telling experience, ready to take the next step in their career. We cover all aspects of production, so this is an opportunity to develop your range of skills and explore the future of content.
