Job brief

This role sits at the intersection of TV production, creative development and climate storytelling- helping the TV industry tell powerful, accurate stories about our changing world that truly connect with audiences and inspire action.

 

As our Production Manager, you will lead the “how”: managing the end-to-end delivery of our workshops, clinics, script consultations, and creative brainstorms with broadcasters, production companies and creatives. You will translate our strategic priorities into a clear portfolio of projects, ensuring the work is expertly scoped, resourced, and delivered to the highest industry standard.

 

You will bring a production management approach to a charity environment, ensuring delivery is structured, efficient and responsive to industry needs. You will coordinate and manage the work of consultants and collaborators, ensuring quality, consistency and alignment with programme goals.

 

 

You will act as both:

• a trusted operational partner to industry stakeholders and creatives, and
• an internal production lead, responsible for delivery across multiple strands of work

This role requires strong production experience, excellent stakeholder management, and the ability to balance creative collaboration with structured delivery. It is best suited to someone currently working as a Production Manager, or with recent, hands-on experience in production management within the TV industry.
