The Company
The Plum Guide is on a mission to build the definitive collection of the world’s best homes. Through expert human curation and innovative tech, we’re taking a scientific and systematic approach to vetting every home in every city we open, and accepting only the top 1%. Like a modern Michelin Guide – but for homes.
We launched 3 years ago in London. Since then, we have grown 15-20% month on month; expanded to 6 cities; tested over 100,000 homes; developed a customer experience that’s returning the highest NPS scores in the hospitality sector; and are on track to reach over £25M in annualised sales.
We are backed by some of the world’s top VCs and angel investors who have built many of the world’s most exciting companies of today. These include TransferWise, Citymapper, BuzzFeed, Appear Here, Graze, Depop, SoFarSounds,GymBox, Zoopla, LoveFilm, Secret Escapes to name a few.
We’ve recently closed a £14m Series B round of funding. Our focus for the next 12 months is on building an exceptional brand & customer experience; and maintaining hyper growth through an accelerated global rollout.
This is where you come in…
The Role
We’re building out the marketing team here at The Plum Guide, and one of our aims is to recruit passionate content creators to sit within a studio team.

In-house video production is a new venture for us, so we’re looking for a strong allrounder to hit the ground running – you’ll be equally comfortable shooting, producing and editing. Video has huge potential to become a pivotal part of the machine that powers viral organic growth for Plum, and this role will help set the vision.
