EMMERDALE has launched its hunt for its new big boss.<\/p>\n

The ITV soap has opened applications for a new Executive Producer to replace outgoing soap boss Jane Hudson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The closing date for applications on the ITV Jobs<\/span> website is later this month.<\/p>\n

The executive producer helmed the show through its dramatic 50th Birthday last year and will depart after leading the show for almost 1000 episodes.<\/p>\n
