Who you are...

You're based in the Manchester area. We'd love you to have experience in a similar role within the UK TV and digital industry landscape. You know all about the rights and clearances as well as production and postproduction workflows, insurance, and health & safety! You need to be a team player and it would be amazing if you've had some experience in sports production and even better if you've managed Production Coordinators.

If you are aware of Albert and Sustainability and have reported on it, then that's definitely an added bonus!
