Founded in 2012, LADbible Group is redefining entertainment and news for a social generation. Our global community engages with our content–spanning editorial, video, documentary and live – we reach 1 billion people each and every month. Our mission is to give the youth generation a voice by building communities that laugh, think and act. Using all major platforms, we’ve rapidly risen to become one of the world's largest publishers. 

About the Role 

We are looking for a Development Producer to join our Originals team!

The Originals team creates quality, long-form content for YouTube, broadcast and podcast platforms, designed to be shareable across LADbible Group’s social channels. We’re the team behind popular shows like Snack Wars, Minutes With, Honesty Box and Agree To Disagree.

We’re looking for someone with fresh formats, proven credits, and a fantastic knowledge of what content works for YouTube and socials. You’ll be working across three genres - entertainment, sport and factual - so experience in these areas is key.

You’ll be turning your creative ideas into new shows, so we’re looking for a multi-functional producer who can work with the wider team to manage the production of pilot series.

What the opportunity looks like 

• Creating original, returnable format ideas for our YouTube channels - LADbible Entertainment, LADbible Stories and SPORTbible.

• Pitching new ideas to the Development Lead and channel teams.

• Managing the production process of pilot series from start to finish.

• Co-producing shoots and edits, working alongside a dedicated Creative Producer.

• Developing topline ideas from the team into fleshed-out formats.

• Planning office run-throughs and gameplay demos to test your ideas.

• Building attention-grabbing decks and presenting to key stakeholders.

• Working with our LAD360 commercial team to integrate partners into original content and co-developing new AFP ideas with brands. 

• Utilising research and data alongside the Channel Manager to analyse performance of formats, identify gaps in our slate, and the viability of new ideas.

• You can demonstrate superb planning skills, managing several projects at one time.

• An interest or experience in how AI may be used in idea development is a bonus.

• Developing and scaling existing formats, creating new content ecosystems.

• Liaising with Marketing to ensure new launches are fully supported.

• Identifying and nurturing on-screen talent for new formats, alongside Talent Managers.

• Independently developing a slate of larger-scale ‘blue sky’ productions.

Skills and experience we'd like you to have 

• You have substantial experience as a producer and a track record of developing ideas from concept to delivery or that have been commissioned by others. 

• You’ll have a thorough knowledge of and passion for YouTube and social media.

• You know how to generate repeatable formats with clear beats, story and pacing.

• You can translate your ideas into persuasive decks and compelling pitches.

• You have varied interests and experience to work across three distinct genres. 

• You’ll be comfortable developing a range of formats - from gameshows to podcasts, sport debate shows to hard-hitting documentaries.

• You have a good eye for design - from a pitch deck to a studio set, you know what pops.

• You’ll know how graphics, music and sound design can set the tone for a format. 

• You’re enterprising and able to work independently developing new ideas.

• You’re locked in to what young audiences are interested in and spot emerging trends.
