Storyteller (£60k - 70k)

Sequel is a digital family office of the world’s best athletes, artists and entrepreneurs backing companies that advance humanity. Our primary stakeholders are founders. We’re on a mission to help them tell their stories. It’s one of the ways we win access and help them accelerate. We are building a world-class storytelling team and are looking for a Storyteller who will work within our team to concept, film and edit visually stunning, end-to-end content that tells compelling, impactful stories. Most content roles are built around a single skill: editing, filming, or writing. At sequel, a Storyteller aims to own the full arc. You research the subject, develop the concept, write the script, set up and run the shoot, edit the piece, and bring it to life with music, motion and animation. You are not handed a brief and asked to execute it. You help decide what gets made, why it matters, and how it should feel. What you’ll do Create engaging content: Produce high-quality, end-to-end videos that inspire and educate, aimed at our members and portfolio companies. Collaborate with the world’s best startups: Work closely with our 50+ portfolio companies: startups solving the most important problems across all sectors. Document the journeys of their founders, explain their mission. Tell their stories: Craft engaging videos across a variety of formats, including trailers, educational investing content, founder journeys, behind-the-scenes b-roll footage, and mission-driven stories. Optimize content for our app and/or social platforms. Pitch ideas: Bring new concepts to our bi-weekly Story Lab sessions — a space where each team member shares an idea they actually want to make, grounded in a reference and mapped to one of our three content territories. Set up shoots and film in studio and offsite: Ensure shoots are perfectly executed by setting up professional lighting and managing all elements needed to create visually stunning and polished shots. Capture footage during studio shoots and offsite locations, working directly with athletes and founders. Use AI: Integrate AI tools into your daily workflow — not as a novelty, but as a genuine part of how you raise quality and move faster.
