Role: Head of Scotland, permanent
Contract: full-time, salaried, plus performance related bonus
Location: Glasgow (full commitment to being Scotland based - relocation considered)

Every so often a role comes along that makes us sit up a little straighter. This is one of them.

Our client is a highly respected, award-winning independent producer with a serious international footprint and a Scottish operation that has become one of the most exciting stories in the nations and regions - built properly, with real roots, real jobs and a slate of genuinely brilliant programmes. Several shows are in production there right now, and the ambition is to grow much, much further.

They're looking for a new Head of Scotland: the most senior creative and strategic leader in the office, and a key member of the company's senior team.

This is emphatically not a satellite exec job - it's a business leadership role for someone who can win work as brilliantly as they deliver it.

You will:

• Develop the strategic vision for a thriving, growing Scottish operation
• Pitch and sell to UK commissioners, streamers and international buyers
• Build new relationships and partnerships, and find the clever routes to funding that others miss - including soft money and co-production opportunity
• Guide a talented development team and oversee a busy slate to the highest editorial standard
• Lead the Glasgow office with autonomy, warmth and a hands-on approach (without micromanaging a very capable team)

You will be:

• An experienced Executive Producer or company leader in premium documentary and popular factual - true crime, music, archive or current affairs experience all welcome, and scripted is growing too
• A superb salesperson, pitcher and writer whose name gives commissioners confidence
• Commercially sharp, with a real understanding of how your work drives the bottom line
• Hungry, outward-looking and contemporary in your thinking - allergic to complacency and excited by international opportunity

If you look at the Scottish landscape right now and see opportunity everywhere, we'd love to hear from you.
