SVP, Content & Partnerships

London (Hybrid 2–3 days per week in the office) | Full-time or Part-time

We're conducting a confidential search on behalf of an ambitious, founder-led business operating across TV, branded entertainment and digital content. This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a new content and partnerships function, working directly with the founders to shape the next phase of growth. By developing distinctive IP, creating strategic partnerships and identifying new commercial opportunities, you'll play a central role in building a modern content business for a rapidly evolving market.

This is not a traditional development role. We're looking for someone with the creative credibility to spot great ideas and the commercial instincts to turn them into valuable assets, partnerships and long-term growth - someone who builds momentum and creates opportunity rather than waiting for direction.

The Opportunity

• Develop and lead a slate of original content and IP across TV, branded entertainment and digital platforms.
• Shape projects from concept through to packaging, funding, partnership development and production.
• Build strategic relationships with broadcasters, streamers, brands, agencies, platforms, talent and creators.
• Identify new commercial opportunities, funding models and revenue streams beyond traditional commissioning routes.
• Help embed commercially minded development across a growing network of creative partners.
• Play a key role in shaping both the creative and commercial direction of the business.

About You

You may currently be operating at Managing Director, Founder, Creative Director, Commissioner or equivalent senior leadership level. You'll have run a business or division with P&L responsibility and be comfortable with accountability, targets and building to a plan.

You'll bring:

• A strong track record developing successful content, formats or IP within TV, production, branded content or adjacent sectors.
• Experience building, growing or leading a creative business or division - including direct P&L responsibility.
• Deep relationships across broadcasters, streamers, brands, agencies and the wider content ecosystem.
• A genuine understanding of how TV, branded content and digital content increasingly intersect.
• Commercial acumen, entrepreneurial drive and a proven ability to spot opportunities and make things happen.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach and a reputation for building strong, lasting relationships.

Why This Role?

• Direct access to founders and genuine influence over strategy.
• The opportunity to build and shape a new function from the ground up.
• Exposure across TV, branded entertainment, digital content and emerging funding models.
• A people-first culture that combines real commercial ambition with a genuinely collaborative, low-ego environment where relationships and long-term thinking matter.
