Vancouver, Canada Omnifilm Entertainment Full time

JOB TITLE: Factual Development Producer

REPORTS TO: Senior Director of Factual Development

START DATE: TBC

HOURS: 40 hours per week.

SALARY: $75,000-$100,000 annually

Commensurate with experience. All full-time employees receive health benefits.

LOCATION: This position is based in Vancouver. This is an in-office position, although there is flexibility for “work from home” arrangements in alignment with Omnifilm’s return-to-office protocols and agreement with supervisor. The position is a permanent full-time position with a 3-month probationary period per employment standards.

Omnifilm Entertainment is looking for a development producer who will help conceive and research buzz-worthy factual/unscripted series targeting an array of global broadcasters and streamers.

ABOUT YOU

You love factual television and will be found constantly talking about your favorite shows to friends, family, and colleagues. You are a creative “ideas person” and quickly absorb TV market intel from multiple sources and newsletters, have an appreciation and understanding of the cultural zeitgeist, and are able to spot content trends before they emerge. You are aware of the importance of using an intercultural lens to develop compelling concepts and love TV genres such as workplace occu-docs, ob-docs, competition formats, pop culture, true crime, popular science, and natural history programs.

You’ll be confident advocating for your ideas and supporting them with relevant information about key buyers and sales prospects. You multitask with ease and thrive having several projects at various stages of development on the go at once. You work well with a team, are respectful to everyone, and have an awareness of current intercultural issues.

ABOUT THE JOB

You will work alongside our full development team to find great characters, track commissioning priorities of key buyers, and package ideas with other pitch materials like treatments, 1-sheets, and demos.

Eventually, you’ll be pitching your own projects, getting them financed, and could even spend some time on the production side of shows while you continue to develop new ideas. A key part of the job is finding and getting access to unique and diverse worlds and subcultures that would appeal to our clients like Discovery, History, Nat Geo, Smithsonian and streamers including Netflix, Amazon and Disney.

SPECIFIC DUTIES

Development:

- Research books, podcasts, and other IP for possible development avenues.
- Find and interview prospective characters for doc series and 1-offs.
- Produce pitch materials such as 1-sheets, treatments, and demos.
- Build development schedules and keep track of progress.
- Track history of all project development stages, where pitched and responses received.
- Be skilled in using an intersectional and culturally safe approach with prospective characters, communities, and concepts.

Target Buyers:

- Research and track information on broadcaster and streamer needs and comparable programs

Department general administration:

- Supporting the team with ad hoc administrative tasks.

HOW TO APPLY:

- Please attach a single PDF document that contains both your cover letter and resume.
- For more information about the position or company, please contact Marissa Wheler.
