Deloitte Services LP is seeking a video strategy program lead to join Deloitte Insights, the flagship publication for Deloitte, to build and manage a video program that communicates Deloitte's proprietary research and insights through bold, intelligent, compelling and inherently human storytelling.
Deloitte Insights publishes 400+ content projects annually across a variety of media types with the goal of educating, informing and inspiring Deloitte clients and prospective clients on the business issues that matter most to their strategic agendas. From growth and competitive advantage, to emerging technologies, to workforce strategy and beyond, Deloitte Insights publishes data-driven thought leadership for global C-suite and board-level executives across industries.
The video strategy lead will lead the development, implementation, and management of a video program that supports Deloitte Insights' global publishing strategy, editorial agenda, promotion plan, and audience growth goals. This role is responsible for driving the development and evolution of a full-fledged video strategy, determining how to make video a primary channel in Deloitte Insights' multichannel publishing approach, how to grow global audience engagement and subscribership based on current video storytelling and channel best practices, how to strategically manage video production resources, and how to get the work done most efficiently.
Specific responsibilities include leading and transforming Deloitte Insights' approach to video pipeline planning and operations and identifying stories worth telling in video form and how best to tell them, thereby growing the video portfolio, increasing the number and cadence of videos produced, and systematizing the production of video series. This role also is responsible for managing video projects and working with internal and external collaborators to complete them; leading vendor identification, selection, and onboarding; governing video styles in line with the Deloitte Insights brand and visual identities; and innovating on video formats based on modern video storytelling best practices for executive audiences.
This role requires an expert video journalist and storyteller, and a proactive leader who can both set strategic direction and execute tactically, with a focus on elevating our video content program to new heights. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who brings fresh perspectives, an experimental mindset, and a deep network of video resources and collaborators-someone who's able to teach Deloitte Insights collaborators how to develop business insights videos aligned with modern video best practices, and propose, plan, and handle both scrappy talking-head videos and big-budget productions while maintaining efficient production processes and high quality standards. The candidate will need a deep understanding of business strategy and topics, a nose for news (or newsworthiness), a strong backbone, and a willingness to constructively and respectfully challenge senior leaders' thinking when planning stories.
The role reports to the editor in chief of Deloitte Insights and will collaborate cross-functionally with Deloitte Insights team leads (including editorial, design, production, audience development, and analytics), along with colleagues from research, data science, marketing, branding, and other creative and content development teams. While this is a highly collaborative role, responsibility rests with this individual for most video decisions and approvals, and they will use their professional judgement to manage the day-to-day details of video projects.
