Senior Creative Content Producer

As a Senior Creative Producer at CWP, you'll take ownership of some of our most important productions from initial briefing through to final delivery. You'll lead projects with confidence, building trusted relationships with partners, shaping editorial direction, managing contributors and giving producers and editors the clarity they need to deliver exceptional work.

This isn't a role for someone who simply keeps projects moving. We're looking for someone who can make decisions, solve problems, challenge ideas when needed and confidently represent CWP with stakeholders. You'll be trusted to lead conversations, navigate competing opinions, protect the quality of our storytelling and ensure every production meets the high editorial standards we're known for.

Working alongside our Head of Content & Storytelling and wider production team, you'll help create films that simplify complex issues, inspire action and make a genuine impact. If you're calm under pressure and enjoy taking ownership of projects from beginning to end, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us and help create a better tomorrow. (See how to apply at the bottom of this job description)

• Lead editorial discussions with producers and editors, providing clear, constructive feedback that strengthens every film. 
• Make confident editorial decisions, balancing creative ambition with commercial realities and production deadlines. 
• Navigate client feedback professionally, knowing when to challenge ideas, offer alternatives and protect the integrity of the story. 
• Support and mentor producers, helping them grow in confidence, storytelling and client management. 
• Work closely with editors to ensure every film meets CWP's editorial standards before delivery. 
• Solve problems quickly and proactively, keeping productions moving while remaining calm under pressure. 
• Champion high editorial standards and contribute to a collaborative, ambitious and supportive team culture.
