Do you love the sound of coordinating and managing a roster of scripts in development as part of a fast-growing script development company? Are you an eager, driven, and creative multitasker with an acute ability to communicate sensitive information in a time effective manner?

Script Compass is a pioneering development company, working with a range of clients across the film industry to help them to achieve production-ready scripts in the fewest number of drafts. Spearheaded by a BAFTA nominated producer and a Curtis Brown represented writer, Script Compass is an award-winning screenplay development service that is championing a cost and time effective development process. The company is a fast-growing entity with its base in Bloomsbury in central London. The position will be office based, with working hours between 9am - 6pm Monday to Friday.

An exciting opportunity to join the team at Script Compass as a junior development coordinator has arisen for a committed individual with a passion for film and television. The role will work across the development slate at Script Compass, with the goal of managing the roster of clients as well as liaising and working with development consultants and executives. In addition to working on coordinating the development process, the candidate will work closely with the co-founders to ensure the smooth running of all internal company affairs. From filing documents using Google Drive, to paying invoices on time, the candidate will take on a diverse and varied range of tasks to help with the management of Script Compass and other overall administrative duties of running a development company.

This role would suit someone who is an excellent multitasker, has great attention to detail and is a friendly and sensitive communicator. The role will have a majority focus on coordination, diary management and undertaking administrative duties. The candidate should have an excellent understanding of written English, with a particular craft for drafting emails and dealing with sensitive information. The role will also include using social media to market the business, and the ideal candidate should be someone who has a natural ability for digital marketing.
