Reporting to the Head of Publicity and supporting the wider team, you'll be at the heart of how our films reach press and audiences across the UK.
The package
- London Living Wage of £96.95 per day (paid monthly), equivalent to £25,207 per year.
What will you be doing?
You'll be the engine room of the Publicity team. Day to day, you'll:
- Run press screenings - book and monitor all official press screening dates with the FDA (including the Scottish National Press Show and mop-ups), arrange catering and security, and host/check in guests at screenings, day and night, including the Week of Release Screening.
- Service the press - distribute titles and images via our media management site, send release-date and change-of-date press releases, keep the Forthcoming Slate updated, and manage invites and RSVPs.
- Power the junkets - run check-in desks, compile talent folders, share schedules with DMS, and book travel and transport for journalists and talent (with the occasional early start or late finish).
- Track and report - maintain the publicity calendar and notes, keep weekly minutes and competitive reviews current, log all reviews and reactions for Head Office and Marketing, and circulate premiere and gala documents.
- Keep the lists and admin tight - own the PPUK mailing lists via our database agency, track POs and the BTA credit card spend, and book meeting rooms and catering as needed.
- Be the FDA's first point of contact for the press team and liaise directly with journalists and National Critics.
What are we looking for?
- A recent school or university leaver with a bachelor's degree in business/marketing or a related field, or relevant experience in a corporate office, ready to launch a career in media.
- Excellent spoken and written English to a professional level.
- A talent for juggling multiple tasks against competing deadlines, with excellent time management.
- A high level of attention to detail and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
- Strong organisation, with the ability to co-ordinate, prioritise and multitask.
- A knack for building effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- PC literate, and happy to work out of hours when the schedule calls for it.
- Be positive and proactive, with the initiative and self-motivation to make things happen, and the integrity and honesty we count on.
