The role
You will work across a defined group of projects, driving them through each stage of development. That means being hands-on with scripts, outlines and bibles, giving clear notes to writers, setting up and supporting writers' rooms, and assessing incoming submissions and IP.
Alongside the creative work, you will manage timelines, deliverables and development budgets, prepare and coordinate funding applications, and contribute to the financing pathways that move projects toward production. You will work closely with writers, agents and the internal team across your project responsibilities.

- Commercial awareness of how projects are packaged, financed and progressed toward production
