Cut Media, an award-winning sports content agency based in Glasgow, is currently recruiting a Head Of Production to provide maternity leave cover. This role will begin immediately and is expected to run until April 2025. 

We’re looking for an experienced Head Of Production to lead our production team as well as rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in on some projects of your own.

You’ll have a strong drive to get the job done efficiently and cost-effectively every time, bringing your experience in branded content to this busy, challenging role. This will be a full-on role, but your excellent multi-tasking skills, coupled with your proactivity and commercial acumen, mean you’ll find it rewarding and fulfilling. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

The key responsibilities of this role are:

  • Lead the production team with ultimate responsibility for delivering our projects on time and on budget
  • Manage and lead productions from concept to delivery, being the main point of contact for new leads and RFPs.
  • Produce and manage budgets, with a keen eye for detail
  • Mentor and support production team members
  • Allocate and oversee projects to the rest of Production team 
  • Manage the project slate and forecast production support, taking the lead on resourcing projects as needed
  • Work closely with the Creative team from pitch stage to manage client expectations, budget and schedule parameters, presenting proposals alongside the Creatives and Director when required
  • Utilise budgets creatively, negotiating crew rates and ensuring best use of internal and external resources, keeping a close eye on the bottom line
  • Manage local and international shoots and crews both on location and remotely, ensuring legal, contractual, insurance and safety processes are implemented and documented accordingly
  • Collaborate with Post Production team to plan edit schedules and delivery of assets
  • All aspects of Production-related admin, including budget reconciliation, target margins and client invoicing, as well as project forecasting and future planning
  • Edit produce projects alongside our Creatives and support the post-production team during the final stages of a project
  • Work with the Senior Leadership Team to ensure contractual, legal and insurance obligations are fulfilled for all productions

ABOUT YOU

From our studio in Glasgow, you’ll be working as a key member of our close-knit team on your own projects as well as overseeing the output of the Production team. Reporting to our CEO, you’ll excel at bringing the best team for the project together, number crunching budgets and being able to keep one eye on the little details whilst the other is focused on the bigger picture.

We’re an innovative end-to-end creative agency, so you’ll take projects from creative development to post-production and delivery. Whether you’re contributing to pitches, seamlessly organising and running shoots or delivering edits on time, you’ll be working to the highest possible standard.

You’ll be a born organiser, calm under pressure and be able to embrace change to keep things moving forward. Sound like you? Ideally, you’ll also tick the following boxes:

  • 3 years+ in a Head Of Production role, or 5+ years experience as a Senior Producer in a production company/agency setting
  • Experience creating and managing budgets, with past responsibility for delivering projects on budget
  • Proven experience in managing international shoots and crews
  • Proven experience of on-set production of branded, commercial and documentary shoots
  • Experience producing branded content 
  • Good technical knowledge of post-production processes, archive and music clearance, permits, insurance, contracts and safety, as well as demonstrable experience with asset deliveries, ideally for both online and broadcast 
  • A great diary of contacts and relationships within the industry
  • Demonstrable experience of working with athletes and/or sports brands and have a keen personal interest in sports. 
  • A positive attitude and drive to create great work with great people - you’ll be adept at collaborating as part of a team and multi-tasking across multiple projects.
