About Tailwind
For over 18 years, Tailwind has been producing high-quality films for some of the UK's leading brands and organisations. Working with clients including Tesco, UCAS, Imperial College London, Middlesex University and many more, we create everything from corporate campaigns and employer branding films to documentaries, educational content and social-first productions.
We believe great storytelling starts with great people. That's why we've built a supportive, collaborative culture where creativity is encouraged, ideas are valued and everyone has the opportunity to develop.
We're also committed to reducing our environmental impact. Since 2023, every Tailwind production has been Net Zero, with carbon offsetting supporting projects around the world.
The Role
This is a six-month fixed-term maternity cover position with the opportunity to work on a diverse range of productions for some of the UK's leading brands and organisations.
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves taking ownership of projects from initial brief through to final delivery. You'll lead productions, build strong client relationships, develop creative ideas, direct shoots and ensure every project meets the high standards Tailwind is known for.
Producing and directing will form the core of the role. While you'll be confident editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and happy to edit projects when required, you'll also work closely with our wider post-production team across larger productions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two weeks are the same. One day you could be producing a university campaign, the next directing interviews for a national retailer, filming branded content, developing creative treatments or working with clients to shape the next big idea.

- Developing creative ideas, scripts and treatments.
- Managing client relationships throughout each project.

- Producing engaging content across corporate, commercial and social platforms.
- Editing projects in Adobe Premiere Pro where required.
- Collaborating with editors, motion designers and the wider production team.
- Supporting pitches and identifying new business opportunities.
- Maintaining the creative and production quality Tailwind is known for.
What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years' professional experience producing and directing commercial video content.
- Strong editing skills in Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Experience working with Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects is an advantage but not essential).
- Excellent communication and client management skills.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple productions simultaneously.
- A creative thinker who enjoys solving problems and bringing ideas to life.
- Someone who thrives in a collaborative team and brings positive energy to every project.
- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
