Development Researcher
Location: Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland (office based)
Role Overview:
The ideal candidate will have a genuine love for factual television, with a keen understanding of its diverse genres, from documentaries to formats to current affairs.
He/she will have a strong understanding of the factual television landscape and be especially aware of the broader zeitgeist – what is everyone talking about and what will they still be talking about in six months’ time?
You will play an integral role in producing development materials, so a good sense of modern tech and design software is essential (e.g. Canva or Photoshop) – and basic editing skills would be an advantage.
Ability to carry out deep research, fact-checking and identifying interesting new talent are key.
Excellent writing skills required.
Some experience in television production would be beneficial, but not essential.
You will be expected to participate in brainstorms to help generate new ideas.
This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate individual who thrives in a creative and fast-paced environment, and who is eager to contribute to the growth and success of one of the most dynamic production companies in the industry.
Why Join Waddell Media?
Be part of one of the UK’s most respected production companies, known for creating high-quality factual television content. Work with a passionate and talented team in a collaborative and creative environment with great opportunities for career growth and development in the fast-evolving broadcast industry.
Salary dependent on experience.
