About the Role
As Head of Content, you will lead the next phase of growth for a functioning and ambitious department. In this context, content means the end-to-end audience narrative and media experience within an event or brand experience – including scripting, motion, film, digital, spatial content, and how these elements are integrated into a physical or hybrid environment before, during and after the event lifecycle. Working in close partnership with the Executive Creative Director and Content-focused Creative Directors, you will ensure that exceptional creative output is underpinned by strong commercial performance, effective operations and a clear, scalable offering. You will partner with our Chief Growth Officer to define how content evolves within EC – expanding its reach, sharpening its commercial edge and embedding it more deeply across the business. This is a head of department role, requiring strength in commercial ownership, operational delivery and people leadership, with the confidence to influence at all levels, both internally and externally.
