About the Role

This role is responsible for transforming successful video formats into larger, scalable projects such as returning shows or franchises, with a global scope and team leadership responsibilities. The goal is to shape the group's content output and performance while building the necessary team and capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Own the group's original video output, from short-form and shows through to documentary and docuseries, and decide what has the potential to scale.
  • Apply and refine the pilot, scale and pause framework as formats move from proving themselves on social to becoming returning shows or franchises.
  • Match the format to the idea, drawing on knowledge of documentary, docuseries, competition, talk, narrative and podcast formats alongside short-form.
  • Build, manage and develop the team as the slate and franchise ambitions grow, including line management of the Short-Form and Shows Development Leads.
  • Make the case for team structure and hiring as the slate scales, bringing in specialist producers or development leads where needed.
  • Take formats that are working and give them a life beyond the original run, including spin-offs, international versions, tie-ins, or licensing deals.
  • Make the IP case for each format.
  • Work with Brand Strategy and Productisation to package franchise IP for presentation, including occasional opportunities beyond the group's own channels.
  • Work through the Post-Production Hub alongside your team to plan and prioritise output as formats move from pilot to scale.
  • Partner with Production, Brand Strategy, Data & Measurement and Commercial so decisions are grounded in production reality, brand fit, audience data and commercial upside.
  • Represent original video strategy at SLT level, including making the case for investment ahead of proven commercial return.

Requirements

  • A leadership track record that has visibly changed what a slate, channel or content business makes and how it performs.
  • Direct experience building and managing a team, including hiring, developing and holding producers or development leads accountable.
  • A track record of scaling video content across more than one platform type, including building formats into franchises through spin-offs, international versions or licensing.
  • Fluency across formats including documentary, docuseries, long-form YouTube, short-form social and podcasts.
  • Understand what each format needs in development, casting and production.
  • Confidence using performance data to make scaling decisions and making the creative and commercial case for formats that have not proven themselves yet.
  • Ability to split your time between direct people leadership and working hands-on through shared hubs when the slate needs it.
  • Comfortable moving between a fast-turn social format on Monday, a podcast brief midweek and a documentary treatment on Friday.
  • Experience at a global or US-headquartered media, entertainment or video business.
  • A background in social-first video, YouTube or podcasting, either platform-side or through building channels directly.
  • Documentary or unscripted development or production credits with slate ownership.
  • International format experience or existing relationships with UK or US talent.
