Your Role

As part of a small, agile team, you will work across the corporate, administrative, and production operations of an international film and television company. This is a hands-on role offering broad exposure to the business side of scripted entertainment, from funding applications and project submissions to legal documentation, budgets, spreadsheets, schedules, reporting, and day-to-day company operations.

You will work closely with producers and executives to help keep projects and the company running smoothly. The role requires someone who is highly organized, comfortable working with numbers and spreadsheets, able to manage multiple deadlines, and interested in learning how the business and operational side of film and television production works.

The ideal candidate communicates with professionalism and respect, has exceptional attention to detail, is comfortable working with confidential information and documentation, isn’t afraid to admit what they don’t know, proactively asks questions, and owns their mistakes—while making sure not to repeat them.
