Executive Producer / Lead Editor
Location - London or Edinburgh (requires studio access)
About the Role
We are building a demand generation engine powered by content. Not a blog. Not a set of one-off assets. A media operation that drives reach, brand trust, and pipeline every week.
This is a founding role. You will design and run the machine that turns our insights, customer stories, and product launches into consistent impact. At the start, you will be hands-on across production, editorial, and showrunning. As we grow, this function expands into a full team that you will shape.
Your mandate is clear. Build an internal studio that helps us dominate the conversation in legal AI, and turn that audience into commercial outcomes.
What You Will Lead
Act as Executive Producer, Lead Editor, and Showrunner across three core content streams.
1. The Weekly Briefing
A high stakes in-studio show for leadership commentary and VIP guests.
2. Product Announcements
High production launches that drive narrative and demand.
3. Social Proof
Real customer stories and partnership moments that build trust at scale.
Your Mission
Build the machine
Design a workflow that lets us ship volume without losing quality. Partner with our Researcher to turn technical topics into sharp briefs.
Edit the content
This is still a craft role. You will be inside Premiere Pro every day. You will cut interviews, build sequences, create motion graphics, and export the final assets.
Optimise for reach and demand
You will edit for retention. You will test hooks, thumbnails, and formats. You will sweat the first three seconds of every clip. Views, engagement, and channel growth matter because they drive pipeline.
Lay the foundations for a team
As the operation scales, you will help build the creative, production, and distribution team needed to run a full media engine.
Who You Are
A “Preditor” with senior range
You can produce, direct, and edit with speed and judgement. You move fast in the Adobe Suite and know enough After Effects to create polish that stands out.
A showrunner who brings order to chaos
You can run a content calendar, coordinate shoots, manage guests, and make sure the story is ready long before cameras roll.
A competitor who wants to win
You see impressions and view-through rates as leverage. The challenge of hitting 200k plus weekly views within four months feels like something you want to take on.
A builder
You want to create something bigger than a single show. You want to build the system that becomes our in-house media engine.
Why This Role
You are the foundation - You set the tone for a team that will grow around you.
You have resources - A dedicated Researcher, a studio, and a budget. We take this seriously.
You have creative control - You own the look, the feel, and the strategy behind our content.
You have velocity - No red tape. We move fast and ship work weekly.
