About the Role

Virgin is looking for its next Head of Yes — someone who will spend six months experiencing extraordinary Virgin adventures and sharing the journey with their audience.

The successful applicant will be given access to a range of Virgin experiences, with the Virgin family opening doors to travel, adventures and opportunities that most people would only dream about.

The role is simple: say yes, experience it and take people along for the ride.

You'll capture your experiences through short-form video, photography and storytelling, with content shared across your own channels and Virgin's channels.

What You'll Do

• Take part in six months of unique Virgin experiences and adventures.
• Say YES to new opportunities and document the journey.
• Create short-form videos, photographs and stories showcasing your experiences.
• Share authentic, personality-led content across your social channels.
• Bring your own personality, curiosity and creativity to the content.
• Share your adventures across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Virgin channels.
• Capture the unexpected, funny, emotional and memorable moments throughout the experience.

What They're Looking For

You do not need to be a professional content creator or have a large social media following.

Virgin is looking for someone with:

• A brilliant story about a time they said YES to something that changed their life.
• Personality and an authentic approach to storytelling.
• Curiosity and a willingness to embrace new experiences.
• Creativity and the ability to tell an engaging story.
• The confidence to share genuine, unpolished experiences.
• A willingness to say YES to extraordinary opportunities.

A polished showreel or huge following is not required.

How to Apply

Applicants need to:

1. Create a short video telling a story about a time they said YES to something that changed their life.
2. Post the video on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.
3. Use #HeadOfYes and tag @Virgin.
4. Make the story their own — funny, emotional, surprising or chaotic.
5. Ensure their social profile is public, as Virgin cannot view videos posted from private accounts.

Eligibility

• Must be 18 or over (or above the age of majority where you live, if higher).
• Must live in the UK or US.
• Cannot work for a Virgin group company.
• Applications are not available where local law prohibits participation.

Selection Process

Applications open 9 September 2026 and close 20 October 2026.

Virgin will assess applicants based on the story and personality behind their YES, rather than follower numbers or production quality.

A selection of applicants will be shortlisted and invited to a Brand Immersion Day, after which the final Head of Yes will be chosen.

The new Head of Yes will be announced on 30 November 2026, with the six-month adventure beginning in January 2027.

Important Information

This is not an employment relationship. It is a paid content-creator engagement between the selected individual and Virgin Red.

The successful applicant will need to enter into a content creator agreement with Virgin via Virgin Red.

By applying, applicants confirm that their submitted video is their own work and that they have the necessary permissions and consents to share it. Applicants also grant Virgin Red and Virgin group companies permission to use their video, name, image and likeness across Virgin channels.

There is no guarantee that applying will result in being shortlisted or selected.
