Production Manager
London
Do you have solid experience within Production Management but want to work for a Broadcaster in their commissioning/programming team rather than working for a Prod Co or Agency?
A multi-genre broadcast network is now recruiting for a Production Manager to ensure that all commissioned programmes are made to the highest standards. The position sits within the programming team, reviewing budgets and negotiating key commercial terms across their huge influx of commissions. This would suit someone with a Production Management background who has exhausted their experience of going out on the field looking for something more stable to utilise their programme production knowledge.
The job itself is quite varied, you will retain relationships with production partners but also understand the different systems and processes that bring productions together to troubleshoot any issues that arise between producers and suppliers.
It's essential that you have a strong book of contacts within the industry and that you are confident negotiating commercial terms.
There is no set genre that will be commissioned so this really is a mixed bag - sports, kids, factual but they would love someone from the entertainment side!
The team itself sits within the heart of the company alongside the scheduling department.
This is a great role for a robust character with excellent communication skills and a passion for production management. A knowledge of Production Insurance and Health and Safety of productions is essential.
