We are looking for a filmmaker who can transform architectural ideas into compelling visual experiences.
At Heatherwick Studio, film plays a vital role in how we communicate our work. Many of our buildings exist first as concepts, drawings and models. Through motion, atmosphere and storytelling, film allows people to experience these ideas before they exist - revealing the movement, energy and life that architecture will create.
In this role, you will produce films that communicate the ambition, character and experience of our projects. Working closely with designers, the Head of Art Department, Head of Content and project teams, you will shape clear visual narratives that bring design thinking to life.
You will take ownership of the filmmaking process, from shaping narrative and editing footage to integrating visual material and delivering films to a consistently high standard. Your work will support competitions, client presentations and wider communication of the studio’s projects.
We are looking for someone with strong filmmaking craft and visual storytelling skills, a sharp eye for composition and pacing, and experience using professional production cameras and lighting equipment. You should be highly proficient in Premiere Pro, with knowledge of tools such as After Effects or DaVinci Resolve. An interest in emerging AI filmmaking technologies, such as Runway, Sora or Firefly, is also valuable.
Applications close: midnight on Monday 13th April.

Heatherwick Studio is a team of 200 problem solvers dedicated to making the physical world around us better for everyone. Based out of our combined workshop and design studio in Central London, we create buildings, spaces, master-plans, objects and infrastructure. Focusing on large scale projects in cities all over the world, we prioritise those with the greatest positive social impact.
Working as practical inventors with no signature style, our motivation is to design soulful and interesting places which embrace and celebrate the complexities of the real world. The approach driving everything is to lead from human experience rather than any fixed design dogma. The studio’s founder Thomas Heatherwick comes from a background immersed in materials and making. His curiosity and passion for problem-solving matured into the studio’s current design process where every architect, designer, landscape architect and maker is encouraged to challenge and contribute ideas.
Positive and pragmatic, the studio’s team are collaborators whose role is to listen, question, then lead the conception and construction of special and unusual places. Ingenuity and inspiration are used to make projects that are affordable and buildable. And our client is vital, who comes on the journey and challenges our thinking; together we look for the opportunities that might traditionally be overlooked. Our best future projects are the ones that will teach us the most.
