  5. Data-Driven Approach: Use data analytics and audience insights to shape video content, optimise performance, and increase audience engagement and loyalty.
  6. Cross-Platform Storytelling: Oversee the production of engaging, multimedia storytelling that integrates seamlessly across platforms, creating a unified brand narrative.
  7. Monetization & Partnerships: Identify and cultivate revenue opportunities through video partnerships, sponsorships, and branded content collaborations.
  8. Team Leadership: Build and mentor a cross-functional team of producers, editors, and content creators to deliver innovative, high-quality video projects.
  9. Senior Stakeholder Management: Liaise with the most senior stakeholders in the newsroom and the wide business to inform strategy and champion video transformation.

What we are looking for from you:

  1. Visionary Leader: You're not just following trends, you're setting them. You have a track record of leading digital innovation, particularly in video content creation and distribution.
  2. Audience & Data Obsessed: You have a proven track record of thriving on understanding audiences, using data-driven insights to tailor content that captures attention and drives engagement.
  3. Production Expertise: Deep experience in producing multimedia content across a range of platforms. You know how to create compelling stories that resonate in a digital world.
  4. Marketing Integration: You have a strong understanding of brand marketing and can seamlessly align video strategies with overall brand objectives.
  5. Business Savvy: You're comfortable managing budgets, developing revenue strategies, and fostering partnerships to grow the business.
