Senior Video Producer - Job Description

About Message Heard

Message Heard is an award-winning podcast and new media company working with some of the world's most ambitious brands and broadcasters. We create original IP and commissioned projects that combine creative excellence with commercial value - across audio, video, and emerging technologies. Our partners include global platforms, broadcasters, and household brands.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Video Producer to take ownership of the video function at Message Heard. This role is about shaping how we approach video podcasting - but also thinking more widely about video as part of our storytelling and commercial strategy.
You will be responsible for guiding projects end-to-end: from development and visual planning, through production and post-production, to final delivery. This is a hands-on role that combines creative vision with technical know-how, ensuring our video output meets the highest editorial and production standards.
Alongside traditional production, you will also play a role in integrating AI-driven tools and workflows into our video function. We see AI not as a replacement, but as an amplifier - helping us to innovate in editing, asset creation, and visual storytelling. You will help shape how these technologies support and extend our creative process.

Responsibilities

Lead the video function, with a particular focus on video podcasting and companion formats
Take ideas from concept to final export, owning the full workflow (development, production, edit, delivery)
Develop creative visual approaches for shows, working closely with audio producers and clients
Manage shoots and recordings (studio and remote), ensuring quality and efficiency
Oversee post-production workflows, including integration of new AI-assisted tools where relevant
Ensure consistency and high standards across all video output, aligned with brand and platform needs
Explore and pilot new technologies in video podcasting and multimedia storytelling
Support pitches and proposals with visual treatments and production planning

What We're Looking For

Strong experience producing and delivering video podcasts or comparable longform video content
Hands-on technical knowledge of production and post-production workflows
Creative flair for visual storytelling, with an eye for design, framing, and audience impact
Curiosity and openness to experimenting with AI tools in editing, animation, or workflow design
Organisational skills to manage multiple projects, budgets, and deadlines
Collaborative mindset - able to work with producers, clients, and post-production teams
A forward-looking approach to platforms, formats, and technologies shaping the future of video

Practical Details

Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: Competitive

Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to build and define the video function of one of the UK's most ambitious independent studios, shaping standout video podcasts and pushing into new visual formats. You'll have ownership, creative freedom, and the chance to help pioneer how AI and traditional production methods combine to deliver world-class content with global reach.
