Executive Producer (Broadcast & Production Team) - WC2E 9DD in Brent

The Royal Ballet and Opera, situated in our Covent Garden theatre, has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera. The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audience's experience what we do outside this building. While our theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.

Thanks to the role played by our Audiences and Commercial division, we continue to push boundaries and explore new ways to tell our stories, helping encourage people to attend live performances, watch screenings at the cinema or performances streamed online, or coming in to enjoy the shop, bars, and restaurants in our iconic Covent Garden building.

As we continue to expand and diversify our audiences, the team are looking to appoint an Executive Producer, who will be responsible for series-producing our slate of Worldwide and UK event cinema relays, creating engaging, rich filmed content which wraps around our cinema relays, and creating ‘stream originals’. This content is designed to deepen our audience’s engagement with and enjoyment of our productions – as well as providing an introduction and ‘behind the scenes’ look at what we produce and how we work.

The Executive Producer will join our busy and fast-paced Broadcast and Production team, in a senior creative & editorial role. An ideal candidate for this opportunity will have a background in TV / broadcast and be able to demonstrate:

• Solid and broad experience in all aspects of series planning.
• Ballet / Opera / Theatre / Arts focus storytelling would be an advantage, but genuine interest and willingness to learn taken into consideration.
• Able to work effectively to organisational and stakeholder objectives, such as audience reach, and to work across a broad range of content and artistic themes.
• Good understanding of digital offering and how to maximise impact through effective use of digital channels.
• Ability to act as an ambassador when representing the series or individual projects.
• Good networks within the live broadcast / behind the scenes / documentary storytelling sector.
