About Goalhanger
Goalhanger is one of the UK’s most exciting independent media companies, the team behind some of the world’s most successful shows, including The Rest Is History, The Rest is Politics, The Rest Is Entertainment, The Rest Is Football, The Rest Is Science, and a growing slate. We’re a creative, fast-moving organisation with big ambitions and a brilliant team that makes them happen.
The Role
We're looking for a Producer to help us deliver the next show featuring high-profile UK talent within the hospitality sector.
With the Executive Producer, the successful applicant will be the main point of contact during launch, plugging into the existing developed format, and working across departments to have the show ready for release.
When launched, the producer will need a strong and clear editorial vision working alongside talent to deliver compelling, sharable content that creates a strong sense of community. The producer will also need a keen eye during recordings for moments that can deliver to a social audience, and develop a strategy to take the social audience back to the full episodes.
This will be a visual podcast offering but audio listeners should never be an afterthought. Editorial and creative curation should always be inclusive of all potential platforms where the show will be consumed.
