In 2024 we launched The Local Production, a full-service specialist agency focused on creating content to truly elevate brands. Harnessing expert knowledge and skills, we specialise in delivering strategic excellence and creative brilliance.

- Contribute heavily to The Local Production strategy, processes and delivery to ensure we are providing a world class experience for internal and external clients.
- Managing the day to day operations of the full inhouse production team including video editors, producers and videographers.
- Build career pathway frameworks for the production department, set objectives and manage performance reviews whilst remaining hands on through regular 121s, coaching and mentorship to ensure the team is happy, healthy, and engaged.
- Managing top-tier/high pressure clients with professionalism and confidence.
- Review and refresh The Local Production processes, workflows and tooling to ensure we are meeting industry best practices.
- As part of the senior leadership team you'll represent production in planning sessions, partnering with other 'Head Of' stakeholders, ensuring that issues are raised and addressed appropriately and that team cohesion remains strong.

Experience you'll need...

- Previous experience as a Head of Production or similar in a media production company. You'll understand the intricacies and nuances of a fast-paced media business that focuses on high quality content.
- People management: proven experience building and leading highly efficient and engaged teams. You'll understand the importance of career progression and you'll be able to talk confidently to previous experiences growing and promoting those around you.
- Process improvement: You'll be able to share multiple examples of times that your ideas have boosted efficiency for the team and business.
- Technical knowledge: You'll understand the technical aspects of video production and are confident engaging with shooters, producers and editors on various topics.
- Commercial knowledge: You'll understand the business side of media production and can take a holistic approach to strategy planning, revenue generation and budget management.
