Job Opportunity: Consulting Executive Producer for Premium Unscripted Comedy Format
Our production team is currently finalising a premium broadcaster pitch deck for an ambitious, multi-platform unscripted comedy format. The project is structured specifically as a co-commission model featuring a unique split-commercial architecture across linear TV, VOD, and YouTube commerce. The production model is fully optimised for Out-of-London regional spend requirements (North West).
We are looking to partner with an experienced Development Consultant or Former Commissioner on a consulting basis to review our deck and packaging strategy before we submit it.
The Brief
- Audit our format structure, commercial split strategy, and talent packaging.
- Ensure the tone, terminology, and layout align perfectly with current UK unscripted commissioning priorities.
- Provide blunt, actionable feedback to make the deck entirely "buyer-ready."
The Deal Structure
This is a contingent attachment opportunity. In exchange for your strategic review and guidance, you will be formally attached to the pitch deck as a Consulting Executive Producer, with a competitive per-episode executive fee structured directly into the production budget upon a successful greenlight.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

- You are down-to-earth, approachable, and love working dynamically with lean, agile creative teams. You don't just point out flaws, but enjoy brainstorming the solutions.
- Bring constructive candour. We value honest, direct feedback delivered with mutual respect and a shared goal of winning the commission.
About the Team
- A current on-screen presenter and reporter for flagship STV current affairs programming (and two-time RTS Young Journalist of the Year nominee), acting as Research Producer.
- An established indie production company with a track record of handling high-end commercial delivery and corporate pipelines across the UK.
