PSM is a sports media group. We own Score90 (football), Boxing News (boxing), and we're potentially moving into cricket and F1.
We commission premium originals - Beautiful Divide, 24 Hours With, Chasing Greatness - that run on our subsidiary channels, and we deliver content for B2B clients including ICC, Bet365 and FA.
We are also starting a new channel with Score90, based on quiz content and fan debates in studio environments that will ramp up massively with the start of the Premier League season.
We need someone who can turn an idea into a shot, edited, delivered film. End-to-end. With taste, with discipline, on budget.
Job Scope:
Take projects from treatment to delivery
- Develop ideas for videos that matches the vision
- Pick up greenlit projects and own them end-to-end
- Develop and refine treatments into shoot-ready briefs
- Build the production plan and the budget
- Cast talent - players, managers, on-screen contributors
- Hire and manage directors, DOPs, editors and freelance crews
- Run shoots in person
- Sit in the edit and shape the cut
- Deliver the final film to subsidiary channels or clients
Run pre-production end-to-end
- Location recces and access
- Scheduling and call sheets
- Travel and logistics
- Permits, clearances, releases
- Shot lists and storyboards
- Risk assessments and insurance
- Talent and contributor agreements
Support on agency client delivery
- Produce client projects (ICC, Bet365 and incoming)
- Manage external production partners on those projects
- Bring the same delivery discipline you bring to originals
Experience
- You've produced premium sports or culture content end-to-end - at least two or three projects you can point to
- You've produced for YouTube specifically - you understand the platform, not just "video in general"
- Real football knowledge - you understand the sport, the personalities, the access dynamics
- You've managed freelance crews on shoots
- Boxing literacy useful; sport-curious enough to ramp into cricket or F1
Craft skills
- YouTube fluency - hooks, retention, thumbnails, titles, packaging, analytics. You know what makes a video work on the platform, and you produce with that in mind from treatment onwards
- On-set production - running a shoot, managing talent and crew, problem-solving in the moment
- Edit literacy - you can sit in a cut and make it better
- Treatment and shot-list writing - you can turn a brief into something shootable
- Budgeting - you can build, manage and close out a project budget without surprises
- Casting and access - you know how to land talent, and you understand player and management relationships
Personal
- You can write a treatment and manage difficult talent
- You want to make things, not manage things
- You're comfortable in a small, fast-moving group
Practical
- This is an office-based role at our London office, with remote working flexibility built in. You'll be expected in office for the working week as a default; remote days are available where they make sense
- Field days wherever the shoot is - UK, Europe, occasionally further afield
- Competitive base plus performance-linked bonus on delivery and project margin
- Working days may vary - any 5 across the 7 week days
- Start ASAP
