THE ROLE

The Gold Studios is launching a brand-new entertainment-led YouTube network dedicated to UK sport. This will be a multi-channel platform featuring original formats, creator-led shows, and cultural commentary — with a strong focus on football, but covering the full spectrum of sport. Several channels, multiple voices, and one goal: to create the most engaging, unfiltered sports entertainment in the UK.

We’re looking for anExecutive Producer & Managing Directorto lead the network from the ground up. You’ll help shape the creative direction, tone of voice, and editorial vision — developing standout shows, building formats that cut through, and working closely with talent to bring raw, real sports stories to life.

You’ll also oversee a multi-million-pound production budget and be responsible for building a UK-based team of producers, editors, and creatives. You’ll drive performance across multiple channels, ensuring the content is not just watchable but shareable — growing views, subs, and cultural impact. This is an opportunity to create something entirely new in sports media — and build it into one of the most watched networks in the UK.
