Inside Guide is hiring a Visual Content Producer

We are looking for a Visual Content Producer to own the visual output of the brand across our website, newsletter and social media channels. This is a creative production role: equal parts visual judgment and operational delivery. You will select, edit, and publish the images that define how Inside Guide looks.

What the role involves

You will produce the visual content Inside Guide publishes every week: website images, newsletter images, social media gallery posts, stories, Reels, and campaign assets for our commercial partners. You will select images for editorial features, edit and colour-correct for web and social, and manage a structured visual asset library on Google Drive. The work runs on a weekly cycle with a production crunch.

This is not a photography role. It is also not a creative director role. You work within established brand guidelines. But the visual choices you make every day determine whether Inside Guide looks premium or ordinary. Your eye is what we are hiring for.

What we are looking for

A strong visual eye for hospitality and lifestyle imagery. The ability to look at a folder of restaurant photos and consistently pick the ones that make people want to book. Comfort working in digital design tools and short-form video editing. Reliability under weekly deadline pressure. A portfolio that shows tasteful, premium visual work.

This is not an entry-level role. You should have a body of work that demonstrates consistent visual production for a brand, publication, or client, not just personal or student projects. Experience in hospitality, food, travel, or lifestyle content is a strong advantage. Adobe proficiency is welcome but not required. Comfort with AI tools to speed up production workflows is valued.

Details

• Permanent, full-time (subject to three-month probationary period).
• Remote (remote; must be in South Africa, preferably Western Cape). Equipment and design tool licences provided.
• Reports to the CEO, with day-to-day editorial direction from our Senior Editor.
• Market related remuneration.
• Applications close Friday 17 April 2026.

How to apply

Complete the application form. You will be asked for your portfolio, links to 3 Reels or short-form videos, a short visual judgment question about our Instagram feed, and a 60-second voice note or Loom on why this role interests you.

Then email your CV (PDF) to hello@insideguide.co.za with the subject line ‘VCP Application – [Your Name]’ and any other information you feel is relevant.

If you have not heard back from us after three weeks of sending your CV, your application was unsuccessful.
