Senior Creative Producer
About the KOKO Foundation
Creativity has long been treated as a gift reserved for the few – gatekept by training, by class, by access, by the belief that some of us have it and most of us don’t. The KOKO Foundation exists to dismantle that idea. In an era where technology can remove the technical barriers that have locked people out of creative expression for generations, the opportunity is universal: a world where everyone is given the chance to discover, develop, and live their natural creative power. We are here to make that real – starting with the people, places, and life stages where access to creativity has been thinnest.
We’re in a growth phase, building the KOKO Foundation as an AI-native organisation from the ground up – rethinking how a small, ambitious team can deliver outsized creative and cultural impact. This is a moment to play a pivotal role in what the Foundation becomes.

Role Purpose
As Senior Creative Producer, you will help bring the KOKO Foundation’s creative vision to life across events, content, and the foundation’s public-facing presence. You’ll work directly with the CEO to shape ideas, develop creative direction, and manage the people and partners who turn that direction into reality. This is a role for someone who thinks visually, moves between ideas and execution fluently, and wants to help build the creative engine of a foundation at a defining moment.
When this role is performed at its best, the KOKO Foundation’s events feel distinctive, authentic, and impactful. Our content speaks with a clear voice across channels and makes a difference. And the creative output of the Foundation reflects the imagination and intention behind the mission – that being creative is the most natural thing, and belongs to every human being on earth.
Core Responsibilities
Events
• Develop creative direction for the KOKO Foundation’s events programme from intimate dinners (20 guests) to large-scale public moments (2,000+)
• Bring forward bold, innovative ideas, references, and mood boards that shape the look, feel, and experience of each event
• Manage the KOKO Foundation’s production partners and agencies to deliver events on time, on brief, and on budget
• Own the process from creative vision to operational delivery and post-production

• Own the creative direction for the KOKO Foundation’s content across Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletter, and emerging channels
• Develop the editorial voice and visual identity in collaboration with the CEO
• Manage the content production process with external agencies and creators

Creative Production
• Build the creative briefs, references, and decks that align the Foundation’s partners around a shared vision
• Manage relationships with creative collaborators – agencies, photographers, designers, filmmakers
• Bring rigour to creative project management: timelines, budgets, approvals, delivery
• Execute with agency whilst keeping deadlines and budgets in place
Building the Function
• Help shape what the creative direction at the KOKO Foundation becomes – its processes, partners, and standards
• Grow into managing junior hires and external collaborators as the team expands
Experience & Skills
Essential
• 5+ years in creative production, content, or events within a cultural organisation, agency, brand, or production company
• A track record of producing live events end-to-end, across a range of scales from intimate gatherings to public moments of 2000+
• Demonstrable experience owning creative direction and execution
• Proven ability to manage external partners and agencies – briefing, holding to deadlines and budgets, and getting strong work out of collaborators
• Experience developing content and social strategy across Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletter/editorial, video
• Strong project management: you can hold timelines, budgets, and approvals across multiple workstreams without losing the creative thread
• A confident visual communicator – fluent in building mood boards, references, and decks that align people around an idea
Desirable
• Experience in a start-up, foundation, or early-stage organisation where you’ve built process rather than inherited it
• A network of creative collaborators in London – photographers, designers, filmmakers, venues, producers
• Experience with AI / generative tools into a creative or production workflow
About You
• Driven by meaningful work – you care deeply about social impact and want your creative practice to be in service of something deeper
• Imaginative, idea-driven, and proactive – you bring direction, agency, and execution
• Culturally fluent: deeply tuned into contemporary culture, emerging trends, and how younger audiences engage with content
• AI-native – you use generative tools fluently as part of your practice and are excited to work in an organisation building this way from the ground up
• Senior enough to operate with autonomy – you can take a loose brief from the CEO and run, returning with options rather than questions
• Comfortable in a small, fast-moving team where roles flex and grow
• Background or strong interest in arts, culture, or the creative industries in London
