What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This is a hands-on development role with significant responsibility for how projects are presented to the outside world. While it includes diary management and admin support, the core value of the role lies in creative execution, deckbuilding, and development support, not general office administration.

This role offers a clear pathway toward Development Producer for someone who is editorially strong, visually fluent, and deeply invested in the development process.
