As Head of Video, you will own the strategy, production, and performance of long-form and short-form video across a growing digital entertainment brand. You will define the content formats, audiences, channels, and creative direction that shape the organization’s video presence. The role combines strategic ownership with hands-on leadership of a production operation spanning YouTube, short-form social, partnerships, ambassadors, and marketing campaigns. You will build and develop a talented production team while establishing efficient workflows and consistently high creative standards. A major focus will be connecting long-form and short-form content through a systematic clip pipeline and using performance data to guide investment. You will work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure video contributes directly to audience growth and commercial objectives. This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced video leader who thrives in a fast-moving, performance-driven environment.
Accountabilities:

- Lead the video production operation end to end, from format selection and production planning through creative direction, editing, packaging, and delivery.
- Build, manage, and develop the production team, including editors and specialist content roles, while establishing clear briefing standards and consistent creative expectations.
- Own the long-form-to-short-form content pipeline and oversee short-form output across platforms such as Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- Ensure long-form content is systematically transformed into platform-native short-form assets and use short-form performance insights to determine which formats deserve greater investment.
- Oversee partner and ambassador video collaborations, ensuring content is aligned with audience expectations, brand objectives, and channel requirements.
- Lead the production of video content supporting marketing campaigns, product launches, tournament series, and other commercial initiatives.
- Collaborate with creative, ambassador, CRM, social, and other cross-functional teams to coordinate campaigns and content initiatives.
- Establish and own the video performance measurement framework across long-form and short-form channels.
- Run regular performance reviews, identifying successful formats, creative patterns, and opportunities for improvement, then translate findings into content, format, and packaging decisions.
- Report to senior management on content performance, audience growth, key insights, and the contribution of video to broader commercial objectives.
- Maintain consistent quality, production cadence, and operational efficiency across the entire video organization.
