Multimedia producer
About us
The Fuller Project is an award-winning global newsroom dedicated to publishing groundbreaking reporting that catalyzes positive change for women. Since 2015, our reporting has helped end life-threatening practices, led to large-scale releases of public data, and prompted the introduction of new legislation.
As it embarks on its next decade, Fuller is positioning itself to directly serve clearly defined audiences with a set of new editorial products to meet their needs. As Fuller does this work it will build greater capacity to tell stories in formats beyond text and engage closely with global communities seeking a more equitable world.
We do not simply cover breaking news events. Instead, Fuller’s distributed global newsroom will continue to prioritise in-depth reporting that spotlights injustice and holds the powerful to account – stories that have the potential to shape the news agenda. At the same time, we intend to use our deep expertise to connect the dots – online and offline – between the main challenges humans face today, showing how these are invisibly and visibly impacted by gender and sexuality.
About the role
The multimedia producer will drive Fuller’s vertical video output and work with editorial leadership to contribute to the strategy. Our first priority is video, but we are looking for a producer who also has strong audio skills should we wish to pilot and expand our formats in 2026.
The multimedia producer will have strong editorial judgement, expertise creating and editing vertical video that engages target online audiences, and a laser-sharp attention to detail and deadlines. The goal is to oversee video and audio journalism that educates, inspires and helps make sense of the world through a gender lens for The Fuller Project’s audiences.
This role is part-time (3 days/week) and reports to the lead editor. It is expected that the multimedia producer will work closely with editors to shape this beat and will collaborate with the head of community, social and newsletter producers to launch appropriate editorial videos in different formats that meet audience needs.

- Stay across relevant trends and updates to social media platforms, including understanding how content travels across the social video ecosystem and knowledge of up-to-date best practices from other journalism organisations, creators and brands
- Leverage opportunities for repurposing content to maximise video output (for example, modifying Reels to use as Shorts)
