About Us
We are an award-winning production company and creative agency specialising in film, television and digital content. We work with major distributors and brands on social media campaigns, creative content and behind the scenes material; we also develop and create original scripted and unscripted projects for TV, film and the wider digital landscape.
We are looking for a Production & Development Coordinator to join our team on a six-month fixed-term contract. This is a varied, hands-on role supporting productions across the company.
The Role
This position combines the organisational rigour of production coordination with the curiosity and research skills associated with documentary and factual development.
Working closely with producers and senior members of the team, you will help coordinate projects from development through to delivery, supporting both the logistical and editorial aspects of production. You will be responsible for keeping projects organised and on track while also undertaking detailed research and preparing briefing materials that help shape the creative process.
The ideal candidate will be highly organised, proactive and resourceful, with a genuine interest in storytelling and a strong understanding of documentary, factual or interview-led content. They will be someone who is genuinely engaged with popular culture – whether that's film, television, fandoms, gaming, conventions, online communities or emerging cultural trends – and brings that curiosity into their work.
