The Editorial Coordinator is a key part of the small Scripted Commissioning team. The team is composed of the Director of Drama, Head of Scripted Comedy and three Commissioners. The role is structured around two core areas of responsibility: providing strong administrative and organisational support on office days, and offering editorial reading support on home-working days. On office days, the role is focused on helping the team run smoothly and efficiently, including diary management for two commissioners, meeting coordination, welcoming or collecting guests, and maintaining key team systems such as submission logs, reading lists, slates and databases. On home-working days, the role is focused on reading incoming submissions and development material, identifying projects with real potential, and feeding those back clearly and confidently to commissioners. A key part of the role is helping surface the most exciting and relevant ideas for the team to consider as well as turning down ideas that don't feel right to pursue.
