We are looking for an experienced researcher to join our Natural History Team. The ideal candidate will be highly creative, organised, a great fact finder, a witty writer and an excellent storyteller. We are looking for someone who is passionate about nature and adopts an imaginative approach to finding, developing, and supporting new story ideas.

The individual will be expected to take on research responsibilities for short-form, long-form, digital and gaming content, as well as supporting the Natural History team. The role requires experience as the workload will be demanding at times. A minimum of two years experience in the natural history space is required given the breadth of the work.

The Researcher will report to the Director of Natural History and will work closely with our Director of Digital Content to lead on research for short-form, gaming and digital projects and support the Executive Producer on our many TV and movie projects.

Day to day, you'll be responsible for providing the research needed by each team. Like with all natural history teams, we pride ourselves on being factually accurate, authentic and accessible. It will therefore be the responsibility of the researcher to provide engaging, entertaining and informative background research to each of the teams. You should enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and be able to deliver to short deadlines.

Alongside research responsibilities, the Natural History Researcher will also contribute to content ideation and development. We are out of the box thinkers, so are looking for a creative candidate who can not only help the team bring their ideas to life, but also not be afraid to share their own!
