Utility Week has two content teams - one focuses on the digital membership product including day to day news and analysis; and the other, the Intelligence team, focuses on long form content, special projects and client partnerships. The Intelligence team produces a range of content from short, technically-focused pieces all the way up to in depth market reports, based on independent market research. The team also produces numerous webinars, roundtables and other bespoke events to support client and audience objectives.

There are two streams of sponsored content - one is entirely bespoke, for major clients; the other follows a content plan which is set out by topic and month. This stream includes webinars and sponsored content reports such as Insight Reports and UW Explains technical guides. The head of content role, which reports into the content director, is responsible for the second stream of content, acting as the first point of contact for relevant incoming business; devising synopses and supporting the sales team with client proposals; devising delivery plans including deploying freelance and internal resources (production, marketing) as required; and personally delivering high value content.

This individual will also act as one of four senior members of the UW editorial team, together with the content director, editor and news editor. They will chair content at UW Live and across our portfolio of conferences, roundtables and webinars.
