Our facilities include four broadcast studios, fifty edit suites and a multitude of radio, podcast, dubbing and VFX facilities, with specialisms in remote production and carbon reduction thanks to our Green to Screen initiative.

What You'll Do:

IMG are looking for a Producer to work within the football department to lead and manage a small team that will produce a brand-new weekly magazine show based around Ligue 1. The premise of the show is a 'lifestyle' one, which showcases the very best of French football and culture through the personalities of players and those with connections to the clubs. The shows will be primarily in English language, made up of presenter or contributor-led content, meaning the role offers a unique opportunity to create engaging, original and cutting-edge programming.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a fixed-term contract role until 18th May 2025 based at our facility in Stockley Park, Uxbridge, London. You will be required to work some evenings and weekends as required by the content schedule.

Applications will close on Sunday 4th August at 11.59pm UK Time.

Key Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To:
• Manage and motivate a small team to create a mixture of feature and short form content that make up a fun and vibrant show that airs ahead of each Ligue 1 matchday.
• This is very much a 'lifestyle' show so we are looking for original and inspired ideas of how to create content away from the football pitch with players and contributors associated with the league itself.
• Working collaboratively with your fellow producers and assistant producers - foster creativity in others, display strong leadership skills and contribute to a great workplace environment.
• Display editorial judgement: have a strong knowledge and understanding of what will work, problem solve, know when to take risks and fight for ideas that will be successful.
• Work closely with the senior producer and production management team to ensure shows are delivered on budget and by delivery deadlines.
• Develop and foster a strong relationship with the LFP.
• Challenge the business to think differently, embrace and drive change, and be a champion for diversity in sports production.

You Will Have The Following Strengths:
• Experience in producing quality magazine programming.
• Experience and understanding of production of digital content and the changing landscape of self-shooting, self-editing, content creators etc.
• A good level of French language skills – spoken, written and comprehension. The programme will be primarily in English but French will be required for the series producer in order to research stories, oversee any spoken French within the show and liaise directly with French speaking contributors etc.
• A clear understanding and passion for the changing media landscape and the opportunities that brings to sports broadcasting
• Extensive football knowledge with the desire to immerse yourself fully into the world of Ligue 1!
