  • Supporting and coordinating New Business team activities, working closely with EPs and Creative Producer.
  • Managing diaries and scheduling meetings for EPs.
  • Capturing notes of briefing calls and other internal/external calls.
  • Maintaining our illustration and creative contacts database.
  • Working with new business production team to search, book and liaise with artists and crew during the pitch process.
  • Helping to facilitate communication & catch ups with talent.
About you
  • Has a keen interest in illustration, design & animation across all techniques
  • Is highly organised
  • Is a creative thinker
  • Has a huge appetite to learn
  • Enjoys working collaboratively
  • Has exposure or experience in creative software- for example, the Adobe Creative Suite or Google Slides (desirable*)
