The university serves more than 7,000 students across nine faculties, including Arts and Sciences, Mass Communication, Information Technology, Engineering, Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, and others. UOP maintains a friendly, student-centered campus environment that supports both academic growth and personal development. It holds numerous national and international accreditations, such as ABET (USA), ACPE (USA), ASIIN (Germany), IIMP (Canada), IET (UK), IOA (UK), ASIC (UK), and ISO 9001:2015 certification, reflecting its commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
Role Description The Content Creator is a full-time, on-site role based at the University of Petra campus in Amman.
The role is responsible for creating engaging, high-quality content that brings the University’s stories, people, and experiences to life across its digital platforms.
A key part of this role is visual storytelling. We are looking for someone who can go beyond simply documenting an event or activity and identify the story behind it — transforming everyday university moments, events, lectures, research, student activities, and campus experiences into compelling content that captures attention and connects with audiences.
The Content Creator will be responsible for filming and covering events and activities taking place across the University, capturing both planned and spontaneous moments, conducting interviews, and producing short-form and long-form video content for social media and other digital channels.
Day-to-day responsibilities include researching what is happening across campus, identifying content opportunities, developing concepts and story angles, filming, editing, writing and adapting content in both Arabic and English, and collaborating with academic faculties and administrative units.
The role requires someone who is proactive and curious — someone who can recognize a content opportunity, find the right human angle, and use strong filming, interviewing, editing, and storytelling techniques to turn it into engaging content.

- Ability to identify interesting stories, people, and content opportunities across the University without always requiring direction.
- Strong interviewing and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to interact with students, faculty members, researchers, guests, and staff.
- Good understanding of social media platforms, digital content trends, and basic digital marketing practices.
- Strong research and information-gathering skills to accurately represent university programs, research, events, activities, and achievements.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced campus environment, manage multiple assignments, and meet deadlines.
- Flexibility to cover university events and activities when required, including occasional events outside regular working hours.
