As Head of Video Content, you will lead and manage a team of producer/directors, video editors, and a post-production manager, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, engaging, and impactful video content. You will oversee multiple video projects simultaneously, keeping workflows efficient and production timelines on track.

Unifrog's video content helps young people make informed decisions about their future. This includes Careers Library profiles featuring professionals discussing their jobs, Subject Library profiles where university students share insights into their studies, and Employer and University profiles offering a glimpse into these organisations. We also produce course videos for online learning as well as internal marketing content.

Collaboration will be central to your work, as you'll liaise with internal teams-particularly Higher Education, Employer, and Marketing teams-as well as external partners to ensure our content is engaging, informative, and aligned with audience needs.

While primarily a leadership role, this position also requires hands-on expertise in either producing/directing or video editing/post-production (ideally both). Depending on your background, you'll step in to lead shoots or support edits as needed, providing informed feedback and ensuring high creative and technical standards.

What we are looking for:

Leadership
Proven line management experience, with the ability to inspire and motivate a team.
Strong decision-making skills to navigate complex situations and competing priorities.
Ability to communicate effectively, providing clear instructions, constructive feedback, and regular performance evaluations.

Organisational and strategic skills
Highly organised and forward-thinking, with the ability to schedule shoots and/or edits efficiently.
Strong project management skills to oversee multiple projects, ensuring deadlines and lead times are met.
Ability to evaluate existing workflows and implement improvements to enhance productivity and content quality.

Creative and editorial excellence
A clear vision for creating impactful video content that resonates with audiences, particularly young people.
Awareness of video trends and audience expectations, ensuring the team produces cutting-edge content.
Strong editorial judgment and an eye for detail to maintain high production standards.
Creative problem-solving skills to find innovative solutions in fast-paced production environments.

Communication and collaboration
Strong professional communication skills to engage with internal teams and external partners effectively.
A collaborative approach to work closely with Higher Education, Employer, and Marketing teams to align video content with strategic goals.

Technical expertise
In-depth knowledge of video production processes, from pre-production to post-production.
Expertise in either filming/producing/directing or video editing and post-production (ideally both), with the ability to guide and mentor the team.

For producing and directing:
Ability to schedule and organise shoots effectively, ensuring smooth production workflows.
Skilled in operating professional cameras, such as the A7S, and adept at handling lighting and sound equipment.
Capability to direct shoots effectively, working collaboratively with stakeholders who may not be familiar with video production requirements.

For video editing and post-production:
Ability to manage and coordinate the team's editing schedule, ensuring deadlines are met and final outputs meet high standards.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere and a basic understanding of the creation of motion graphics animations.
A keen understanding of storytelling and pacing to create engaging, audience-focused edits.
Capability to handle sound design, colour grading, and other elements required for technical and creative excellence.
Ability to integrate constructive feedback efficiently, ensuring quality and consistency across all deliverables.

This role is perfect for someone who's passionate, motivated, and thrives in a dynamic environment. You'll enjoy balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring creative output aligns with Unifrog's mission and objectives. If you bring a strong technical foundation, leadership experience, and a knack for creative innovation, we'd be excited to hear from you.
