Head of Content & Audience (Digital Showrunner)

About Chap Live

Chap Live is an interactive entertainment company combining competitive game shows, technology and original video content.

Through Chap Online, people can play games on their phones, compete with friends and participate in Showtime, our camera-based entertainment experience. Showtime turns recorded games, personalities and reactions into original videos for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and other platforms.

We're building an entertainment brand where everyday people don't just watch the show. They become the show.

About the role

We're looking for a creative, commercially aware and highly resourceful Head of Content & Audience to lead our digital entertainment operation.

Think of this role as a digital showrunner. Your responsibility is to make sure compelling games happen, interesting people appear on camera, and the finished content consistently gives audiences a reason to watch and share.

You'll work directly with the founder, lead the creative direction of Showtime, and coordinate our video editor and social media manager.

This is an early-stage, hands-on leadership position. We're looking for someone who enjoys building things, not someone who needs an established production department to operate.

What you'll do

• Find great participants: Identify, recruit, brief and organise individuals and friend groups who can bring humour, personality, competition and strong reactions to Showtime.
• Own the content pipeline: Coordinate recording sessions, review submitted games, and select the recordings worth developing into published episodes.
• Shape the show: Establish Showtime's entertainment identity, editorial standards, episode structure and creative style.
• Direct post-production: Work closely with the editor to turn each selected game into one compelling long-form episode and up to three original short-form videos.
• Build collaborations: Identify promising opportunities with creators, communities, campuses, entertainment personalities and potential brand partners.
• Lead the content team: Set clear priorities, review deliverables and keep the production and publishing workflow running consistently.
• Learn from the audience: Work with the Social Media Manager to evaluate performance, identify successful formats and refine the content strategy.
• Protect editorial quality: Ensure recordings meet the required technical and publication standards before approving their use.
• Support payment reviews: Verify recording selection and participant-related view data before payouts are approved by the founder.

What we're looking for

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in digital entertainment, creator-led media, content production, creative direction or audience development.
• Evidence of content you have helped develop, produce, manage or grow.
• Strong editorial judgment. You understand what makes viewers stop scrolling, laugh, comment, share or watch until the end.
• An ability to recognise interesting personalities and bring different people together.
• Good knowledge of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and modern online entertainment formats.
• Strong organisational skills and confidence coordinating freelancers and contributors.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to lead without needing constant supervision.
• Based in Lagos, with the flexibility to attend occasional in-person activities.

Experience working with game shows, unscripted entertainment, digital creators or audience-led media is especially valuable.

A university degree is not required if your work demonstrates the skills we're looking for.

What success looks like

Our initial content plan targets six full Showtime episodes in November, increasing to eight per month, with up to three short videos developed from each episode.

Your performance will be evaluated on the quality and consistency of published content, successful participant recruitment, audience development, and your ability to establish a repeatable creative production process.

Why join Chap Live?

You'll have significant creative ownership at an early stage, direct access to the founder, a working technology platform, and the opportunity to help shape the identity of a new entertainment property.

How to apply

Submit your CV or LinkedIn profile and include links to two or three examples of video content, entertainment projects or creator channels you've helped produce, manage or grow.
