Lead Game Producer in London

HSG is a content and production company looking for an exceptional Lead Producer to join the business at an exciting point in our evolution. This is a new kind of role: you’ll combine senior production acumen with superb client management and servicing. It is made for someone who loves turning ambitious ideas into exceptional content, combining creative judgement with brilliant execution, and moving seamlessly from developing a client's vision to delivering work that exceeds expectations.

We help our clients become media companies. Our work spans everything from founder films and launch campaigns to long-form YouTube shows, documentaries, podcasts, newsletters and always-on content engines. We work with investors and fast-growth technology companies around the world. Our clients range from some of the world’s largest asset managers to pre-launch medtech, defence and quantum startups.

You will own the production and delivery of a portfolio of client work from concept to completion. Sometimes it means helping clients work out what they should produce in the first place. You will work closely with clients, the HSG team, freelancers and the wider Basis Group, ensuring projects run brilliantly while constantly raising the creative standard of everything we produce.

You will spend time on set, in edit reviews, in creative workshops, on client calls and solving production challenges before anyone else even realises they exist. Producing outstanding content from idea through to delivery across video, podcasts, written content and campaigns.

• Acting as the day-to-day lead across a portfolio of client projects, ensuring excellent communication, organisation and delivery at every stage.
• Helping clients develop ideas worth making, turning broad objectives into clear creative concepts that serve business goals.
• Managing productions of varying scales, including scheduling, logistics, budgets, freelancers and suppliers.
• Leading creative development before production, and maintaining quality throughout filming, editing and delivery.
• Identifying opportunities to improve how clients use content and spotting ideas they haven't yet considered.
• Supporting pitches, proposals and creative treatments for both new and existing clients.
• Continuously improving production workflows, documentation and quality control across the business.
• Helping less experienced team members develop their production skills and creative judgement.

About you:

• You have probably spent 5+ years producing content professionally.
• You know how to take an idea from a blank page through scripting, filming, editing and distribution. This means you can write and edit.
• You're comfortable speaking directly with clients and senior stakeholders, helping shape ideas rather than simply taking orders.
• Whether it's YouTube, documentaries, podcasts, social formats or creator businesses, you're constantly studying why certain content succeeds and others don't.
• You're excited by AI and automation – not because they're fashionable, but because they already help you produce better work faster.
• You combine excellent creative instincts with outstanding organisation.
• You care about quality.
• You've produced YouTube channels, documentaries or podcasts.
• You can spot a weak creative idea before anyone spends money making it.

Salary negotiable depending on experience. Flexible hybrid working from our London office. Unlimited holiday. Pension scheme. Enhanced parental leave.
