Summary
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 Editor, 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 need to be comfortable weaving engaging and authentic stories from a wide variety of content.
The main role is to work on a new, exciting content project, with a team of creatives and content specialists. You will be part of an established Dyson Film team, so you will be able to slot into our post workflow and call on existing material as well as new footage.

As well as understanding high production values, you should be able to innovate and turn films around quickly, to a vast array of budgets and timescales.
