Video & Production Lead
An exciting opportunity to lead our club’s video and production function, delivering world-class content that strengthens our brand, deepens supporter connection, and engages global audiences.
The Role
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.
Who We Are
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).
Our Commitment to Safeguarding
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.

- Lead a dedicated team - you will inspire your team to produce world-class content that defines our club's brand, strengthens emotional connections with our supporters, and advances our strategic ambitions
- Operate as a senior leader in the department - you'll play a key role in the Content & Media department's senior management team to shape and elevate the range and standard of content, working in collaboration with other units
- Uphold our high standards - you will build and champion a culture of creative excellence, collaboration and high performance, empowering your team to deliver exceptional work and realise their full potential
- Collaborate with colleagues across our club - you'll serve as the primary point of contact for key stakeholders, managing relationships and prioritising requests to align with business objectives and departmental capacity
- Oversee team operations - you will manage an integrated planning and resource model, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and resources are allocated effectively across the team
