Working within our Content & Creative team, you’ll own and deliver our brand

unmistakably Virgin Atlantic.
About the role
You’ll lead the development of integrated, cross-channel content briefs, working
closely with Brand Development, Activations, Creative, Customer Experience, CGP
and channel teams. You’ll partner with in-house producers, creative agencies and
production partners to deliver high-quality, on-brand content efficiently,
consistently and to budget.
You’ll also help build and manage a bank of assets that can be adapted and
reused across our channels. Working closely with the Content & GEO team, you’ll
support our evolving Content Operating Model by supplying approved master
assets, creative guidance and production-ready content that can be deployed at
scale.
This is a hands-on leadership role with responsibility for managing the Brand

contributing to an inclusive, high-performing team culture.
You’ll also:
• Lead end-to-end content production, from briefing and partner selection
through to delivery, usage and evaluation.
• Manage complex production schedules, ensuring work is delivered on time, on
brief and within budget.
• Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders, senior leaders,
creative agencies and production partners.
• Bring strong creative judgement to the development, review and evaluation of
content.
• Lead our approach to AI-generated content, identifying opportunities to
improve quality, efficiency and scale.
• Work with Creative Studio, Legal, Technology and Content & GEO to establish
responsible guidance around AI, rights, transparency, authenticity and
customer trust.
• Champion efficient ways of working across briefing, production, review,
quality control, deployment and asset reuse.
About you
You’ll have proven experience in brand content, creative production or
integrated marketing, with a strong understanding of consumer communications and
channel requirements. You’ll be comfortable leading large-scale, global asset
creation from brief through to final delivery and evaluation.
You’ll also bring:
• Experience managing creative agencies and production partners.
• Strong organisational skills and a proven ability to manage complex projects
and schedules.
• Excellent written, verbal communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Confidence engaging with senior leaders and influencing cross-functional
teams.
• Strong creative judgement, with the ability to brief, assess and improve

• Strategic thinking, commercial awareness and the ability to identify new
opportunities.
• Experience leading, coaching and developing people.
