Dancing Ledge Productions was founded in 2016 with a 25% stake from Fremantle and a development deal with Martin Freeman. It is run by two of the UK's leading producers, Bafta award winning CEO Laurence Bowen (The Eichmann Show) and Emmy award Winning MD Chris Carey (Les Miserables, Apple Tree Yard). Credits include two seasons of Porters for UKTV/Dave, co-producing The New Pope with Wildside starring Jude Law and John Malkovich, for Sky Italia/HBO, and developing Netflix true crime drama Delhi Crime. We are currently producing Salisbury, a drama series for the BBC about the Novichok poisonings and developing a True Crime anthology series with Lee Child.

We're looking for a researcher to join our development team with special focus on our true crime / factual drama slate and building on the projects we have already been involved with in this genre.

This is a full-time, salaried position for a recent graduate of journalism or a research-based degree. The ideal candidate will possess a good instinct for what makes a great story, from both a human interest perspective, and in terms of TV storytelling. If you're inquisitive, imaginative and passionate about TV then we want to hear from you.

We're a small, fast-paced office so you'll be happy to get stuck in! This is an exciting, rewarding entry-level position into a career in TV development.

Along with your CV and covering note, in a few paragraphs can you detail a true story you've come across, and why you think it could make a strong basis for a scripted TV drama.

The submissions deadline is 12pm on Monday 19th August. Ideally you will be able to start with us in early September.
