Make the extraordinary, everlasting - with us.

At EC, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression - not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life.

We’re collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality - all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you’re someone who’s curious, adaptable and excited to do meaningful work with a team that’s got your back, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Head of Video to join our team. Reporting into the Technical Director, you’ll lead the strategic and technical development of our video discipline across EC.

As EC’s video authority, you’ll oversee video system design, deployment and operation across high-quality corporate, brand and creative event experiences. You’ll help shape how we deliver video, support complex technical planning and mentor the team so knowledge and confidence grow across the business.

This is a senior, visible role for someone who can combine deep technical expertise with confident stakeholder management, calm leadership and a genuine passion for developing others. You’ll help set standards, shape best practice, support complex delivery and build capability across the wider technical team through mentoring and cross-training. You’ll also be called on for EC’s biggest, most complex and highest-profile projects, bringing senior technical leadership where the scale, risk, visibility or stakeholder complexity requires a true discipline expert.

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Have extensive, demonstrable experience in live event video system design, deployment and operation

• Have a strong working knowledge of live event planning, technical delivery and on-site execution.

• Can translate creative ambition into robust, practical and high-quality technical solutions

• Are articulate, confident and credible with clients, creative teams, venues and suppliers

• Have a strong network within the video and live events industry

• Communicate clearly and effectively with clients, project teams and technical crews alike

• Stay close to product innovation, workflows and trends across projection, LED, media servers and control systems

• Enjoy leading, mentoring and developing junior team members

• Are calm under pressure and able to support complex technical decision-making on site

• Have proven experience supporting large-scale, complex and high-profile live events where technical leadership, planning detail and stakeholder confidence are critical

Technical expertise we’d love to see:

• Expert knowledge of video system design, deployment and operation

• Strong Vectorworks knowledge, ideally including Braceworks

• Confident use of media servers, ideally Pixera and/or Disguise

• Strong knowledge of Barco Event Master systems

• Excellent video networking knowledge, ideally including AVLine

• Excellent knowledge of Panasonic projectors and Geometry Manager

• Strong practical understanding of LED processing, signal flow, switching and image management workflows

You don’t have to tick every box — we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.
