Junior Photo Editor & Content Creator

About Het Concertgebouw

The Royal Concertgebouw is considered one of the world’s leading concert halls thanks to its unparalleled acoustics and its diverse, high-quality programming. Our mission is to connect and enrich as many people as possible through a sublime musical experience.

Our program includes classical, pop, hip-hop, jazz, children’s concerts, and film music. Each year, we host more than 900 events, attracting over 730,000 visitors. With our passionate and close-knit team, we strive to provide the very best experience for visitors, musicians, and staff.

Who are you?

• You have a degree in a field such as media, design, photography, video, communication, or marketing.
• You’re skilled at using photo and video editing software such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro. You also pick up new software quickly.
• You are good at organizing and planning your work.
• You have strong communication skills: for example, you can clearly explain why you make certain visual choices. If you also have intercultural communication skills, that’s a plus.
• You love music and concerts, and you enjoy discovering new music.

No two people are alike. The Concertgebouw strives to be an organization where everyone feels welcome and safe—a place where employees can be themselves and are given the freedom and recognition they need to contribute to our mission in their own way.

What will you be doing?

As a Visual Editor & Content Creator, you’ll be responsible for all visual content (primarily photos and videos) at the Concertgebouw. You’ll select which photos to use when presenting a concert on the website, or which video to feature on our homepage, for example. You’ll decide which photographer to invite for each concert. You’ll also assist the Social Media Manager in producing videos, edit short clips yourself, design ads, and create Instagram Stories, for example. Ultimately, you’ll ensure that all this visual content is stored in an organized manner in our image database, so that everything can be easily retrieved later. If colleagues have questions about photos or videos, you’re the person to ask.

What does your team look like?

You will be part of the Content Team at the Concertgebouw. Among other things, this team is responsible for all text and images on the website, all posts on social media channels, video productions, and the creation of print materials such as the series brochure and our monthly magazine Preludium. Within the team, you will work closely with the Social Media Manager and the web editor. You’ll also collaborate extensively with the Marketing department, for example, on designing concert advertisements for social media. The team also consists of two editors and a designer/DTP specialist.

What do we offer?

• A salary between €1,940 and €2,911 gross per month based on full-time employment.
• You are accruing pension benefits.
• You can work partly from home if you want to.
• You’ll be taking on a varied role with plenty of room for your own ideas and creativity.
• Free ticket program for employees.
• You can take training courses to keep your knowledge up to date and further your professional development.
• The opportunity to take yoga classes.
• A bicycle plan for up to €749, including VAT.
• And above all: you’ll be part of a dedicated, enthusiastic, and friendly team in a relaxed work environment.
