Executive Producer – Video

We’re looking for an experienced Executive Producer who wants to make their home in a well-established production company with strong growth, a great team and genuinely nice clients.

Established for over 14 years we’re small enough that you can make a difference but big enough to be global. With a commitment to a fair work approach and positive social impact we’ve a well-deserved reputation for being nice to work with. Basically, we’re a team full of very friendly, slightly nerdy, creative people, who enjoy what we do. And what we do is help large companies communicate their messages as effectively as possible.

We need someone who is genuinely experienced, not stretching into the role. Someone who has been working as an Executive Producer for a while and is looking to move to a great place to work and grow. You’ll have to be very credible in front of clients, able to help the team find the best way to tell their story, based upon well-earned experience and you must have a passion for inspiring others to push what they’re capable of.

We believe strongly in collaboration and this role is about working with all of the Production team to help elevate what they’re capable of. You’ll bring experience, inspire and mentor the team and be a source of calm pragmatism.

Our world is changing, and we need to embrace it. Higher production values on less budget, ever increasing need for social first content and bringing big screen thinking to small screen content. We need you to have seen it all a few times before, but still love it.

About us

Rocking Horse Pictures is an award-winning Video & Motion production company. Based in London, we work with an exciting list of global clients to produce content for whatever their needs. We’ve grown year on year and have strong plans for growth in 2023.

You will be joining a very likable team, who really get on well and can make a good brew. Collaboration is key to our success and there’s no office politics. We all learn from each other, and we’d expect you to be able to show us a thing or two.

About the job

We’re looking for an Executive Producer who will support our Head of Production and our great team of Producers to keep our clients happy and make sure we’re delivering with the high level of quality we’ve become known for.

Working across the Production team, you will bring experience and guidance to our Producers. Often it will be light touch, sometimes you’ll need to get heavily involved in a project, sometimes you may even need to role your sleeves up and deliver the odd important project. Whatever the balance of your involvement in a specific project you’ll be helping the team to deliver outstanding content.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Production to manage senior stakeholders, often needing to think quickly on your feet. The role does not have direct line management responsibility, but we’ll look for you to mentor our Producers and through strong leadership inspire a growing team to be innovative, quality focussed and successful.

The role will require helping the team to scope projects, identify the best way to build a narrative around the client’s message, produce a creative approach, communicate that to the client and then finally delivering the idea successfully. You will be comfortable writing creative pitches and bringing them to life. If the project involves filming, you’ll be able to give the benefit of your experience to our Producers.

Ultimately, you’re going to bring your significant experience of content delivery and inspiring creative problem-solving to the team and help them deliver exceptional content to our clients, whilst loving their jobs. Easy.

About you

You must have extensive experience in making corporate, branded or communications films and must be passionate about all elements of creative design – film, music, photography, graphic design. We create both video and motion pieces so knowledge of both would be beneficial. Knowledge of shoot production is essential if your background is in video, as well as an innate organisational ability, including multitasking. If you are experienced in motion, then knowledge of the full life cycle is expected. You must be adaptable and very comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and leading with pitches and proposals.

You’ll need to be equally great with clients and colleagues. We are looking for a very experienced, well-rounded empathetic individual who will be credible and confident with a wide range of stakeholders.

We genuinely love what we do, enjoy working with our clients and are proud of what we deliver, we want someone who enjoys working in business communications and brings innovative ideas to create genuinely engaging content.

How to apply

Please submit your cover letter, CV and if you have one, a showreel link and we’ll be in touch. We regret that it’s not possible for us to give each candidate feedback, but we really appreciate your interest in working with us.
