Content Creator - Ombar
A great opportunity for a chocolate lover that has a passion for content creation!
£30,000 | Full-time | Sawston, Cambridge (hybrid)
We’re looking for a creative, organised Content Creator to join Ombar Chocolate – a fast-growing, ethical chocolate brand on a mission to change what chocolate stands for.
This is a role for someone who lives and breathes short-form video, spots trends early, and can turn them into authentic, on-brand content — not over-polished ads. You’ll be happy being front of house, representing the brand both online and in real life.
About Ombar
Ombar is an ethical chocolate brand on a mission to change what chocolate stands for - from sugar and sameness to rich, radiant chocolate that puts cacao centre stage.
We make chocolate with real ingredients (organic, vegan, all joy, no junk), using unroasted cacao and sourcing directly from farmers we pay above Fairtrade prices. We believe chocolate should taste good and feel good, which is why we are proudly B Corp certified and won Ethical Consumer magazines’ most ethical UK based chocolate of 2025.
We’re a small team based in Sawston, Cambridge, growing fast and landing in exciting new retailers. There’s a lot happening, plenty of creative freedom, and real opportunity to help shape a brand that’s playful, purpose-led and genuinely different.
If you like food, culture and creativity - and want to help build something with big cacao energy - you’ll feel right at home.
The role
You’ll be responsible for creating, managing and delivering content across our channels, with a strong focus on Reels and TikTok.
You’ll:
Create short-form video content for Instagram Reels and TikTok (this is the priority)
Spot, interpret and jump on social trends, sounds and formats in a way that feels authentic to Ombar
Film regularly in our Sawston factory, capturing behind-the-scenes moments and bringing Ombar’s vision to life
Be comfortable appearing on camera and representing the brand’s tone and personality
Create content around product launches, campaigns, retailers and events
Attend sampling events from time to time to capture content and support brand presence
Own our email marketing (content creation, sending and optimisation)
Assist on photoshoots (prep, on-set support, BTS capture)
Support wider marketing needs in a small, fast-moving team
Liese with influencers on campaigns and everyday content
Juggle multiple projects at once (this is a true plate-spinner role)
A day in the life
No two days look the same, but a typical day might include:
Filming behind-the-scenes content in the factory — pouring chocolate, packing bars, catching candid team moments
Spotting a Reel or TikTok trend in the morning and turning it into content the same day
Editing short-form video that feels natural, quick and human
Jumping on camera to talk through a product, flavour or what’s happening at Ombar
Planning content around an upcoming launch or retailer moment
Writing and sending a brand email
Prepping content for an event or photoshoot, or capturing footage on the day
If you love variety, autonomy and seeing your content out in the world quickly, you’ll thrive here.
About you
A digital native with Reels, TikTok and short-form content
Naturally tuned into trends, memes and internet culture
Able to create content that feels real, human and not overly produced

Organised, proactive and happy managing lots of moving parts
Excited by working in a small brand with big ambition
Bonus points
Photography skills (product, lifestyle or BTS)
Experience designing social content (simple layouts, text-led posts, stories)
Strong video editing skills
FMCG / food & drink experience would be the cherry on top.
Location & flexibility
Minimum 1 day per week in the factory/office (for filming), ideally more
