Senior Producer, Shows

Location: MailOnline Head Office – London

Position: Permanent

The Daily Mail is seeking a senior producer to develop and produce a brilliant original series. You’ll serve in the role of showrunner, producing 8-22 minute episodes several times per month. The show will be targeted toward YouTube, with the goal of reaching the widest possible audience.

This is a new role on a new team that will create an original programming slate. We’re looking for entrepreneurial, driven producers who see this as an opportunity to do impactful, ambitious, and high-quality work.

The senior producer reports to the head of shows.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Develop and run an original show that’s primarily designed to work on YouTube.
• Oversee every stage of the production process: from vetting pitches, to developing episode ideas, to planning shoots, to giving notes on rough cuts, to choosing headlines and thumbnails.
• Manage a small team of producer/editors that, along with you, make up the show team.
• Take an analytical approach to show performance, using data to understand which parts of the show are working and which aren’t. 

Required Skills and Qualities: 

• Experience producing, editing, or shooting long-form videos.
• A deep curiosity about YouTube as a platform.
• A world-class story sense and ability to assess pitches.
• An ability to clearly communicate and give detailed, specific feedback.
• A lack of fear of failure and a willingness to pivot when an idea doesn’t work out as planned.
• A deep understanding of the principles of good journalism.

If you are passionate about creating videos that inform, engage, and grow audiences, and you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, we would like to hear from you. Please submit your resume, cover letter, and a portfolio of your work.
