We are looking for a Video & Production Lead to oversee the creation of a distinctive, best-in-class video and audio content offering at our club. Bringing together creative leadership, strategic direction, and operational excellence to deliver impactful output at scale.
Sitting at the heart of the Content & Media department, this role will be pivotal in shaping a bold, creatively led, culturally resonant vision.
Partnering closely with teams across our club, the Video & Production Lead will play a critical role in unlocking value, ensuring content supports key priorities while strengthening our club's brand, relevance, and emotional connection with global audiences.
We are one of the most famous clubs in world football, with a rich heritage and history of success – read more about our history, here.
Beyond that, we are passionate about our local community and, behind the scenes, we have a wide variety of opportunities and career paths for all. We have a very defined purpose: to act for a winning team, culture and community. We achieve this by ensuring we are courageous in the pursuit of progress, we champion our community and each other, and that we do the right thing (even when no one is looking).
We are committed to ensuring that our environments for children, young people and adults at risk remain safe and inclusive. We therefore require successful candidates to complete a DBS check and other essential background checks prior to starting their employment. Depending on the responsibilities of the role, a DBS will be either a basic, standard, or enhanced check.
