Producer: WAY UP

Produce season one of WAY UP, a premium multi-platform snow and mountain series filmed in the Alps. Freelance, fixed term. Apply with your showreel.

The Role

WAY UP, formerly called Sunday in The Mountains, is a new premium, multi-platform snow and mountain series fronted by one of the best-known presenters in British snowsports. It covers world-class skiing and snowboarding alongside adventure, travel, the changing climate and the wellbeing benefits of an active life in the mountains.

What You Will Do

You own the editorial and operational delivery of season one, from pre-production and contributor booking through to filming on the mountain, post-production and delivery to broadcast, streaming and social platforms.

Season one is initially planned as six 45-minute episodes following the alpine ski racing season. You work to a weekly turnaround and run a short-form pipeline so platform-native clips go out every day of the week.

You build the production budget and financial model with the Wavelength team, including funded and unfunded scenarios, then manage the budget and schedule.

What You Will Bring

Producer or series producer credits on sports, outdoor or adventure programming for broadcast or streaming, with a strong portfolio. You also need experience producing on location in mountain or remote environments, ideally in winter, and experience of fast-turnaround or weekly series production.

You need to be a competent skier or snowboarder, able to work safely on the mountain with crew and talent. The role also includes mountain safety and logistics, such as risk assessments and weather contingency plans.

You need experience producing social-first video and a good understanding of how content performs on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

How It Works

It is freelance and fixed term for season one.

The role is based in the UK and Europe, with extended travel to the Alps from January to February 2027.

Our presenter, the Wavelength team and a core crew that includes experienced camera, edit and production people from one of the UK's best-known ski programmes. You also lead and expand that crew as the season requires.

The role offers the potential to continue into future seasons and the wider franchise.
