About the job

The ECB digital team manage several websites, apps, email membership programmes and over 50 social media channels, across a wide variety of teams, brands, and consumer touchpoints from the playground to the Test Match arena. The content created by this team reaches a large global audience, across England Cricket, The Hundred, junior programmes, and through our sponsors and partners.

We are looking for a creative Junior Video Producer who is passionate about sports and knows how to tell a great story, to create high quality, innovative videos, reels, features, and documentaries that engages with fans and helps bring the game to new audiences. We are looking for someone who is comfortable shooting and editing, and helping run a busy production roster at our production agencies.

This is a role that is involved in many different areas across the game – from helping champion the grassroots of the sport, all the way to the pinnacle of cricket with the national teams, to being inside the creation of a new sporting competition in The Hundred.

WHO WE ARE

We believe cricket is a force for good that can have an enduring impact on everyone’s lives and we have an ambitious strategy to inspire a generation to say ‘cricket is a game for me’. It provides great entertainment. It teaches important skills, both physical and social. It can help inclusion and social cohesion, bringing communities together.

The ECB welcomes applications from all backgrounds to ensure we deliver our Inspiring Generations strategy and fulfil our purpose to connect communities and improve lives through cricket.

  • Be The Best In The Game – On & Off The Pitch – We train hard. We strive to be our best to help the team be the best. We celebrate our victories and learn from our let downs.
