Busy NYC-based production company, with strong current comedy slate, seeks experienced Director Development with comedy background.
Ideal candidate is an aggressive self-starter, who understands network needs, has a strong eye for comedy/host talent and a knack for crafting sellable projects. Must be able to create development materials with limited oversight. Comedy background and insight is a must, lifestyle format experience is also helpful. Candidate must be highly organized and highly creative. Must have strong writing skills and be able to generate ideas daily.
Director of Development position reports directly to Head of Development and will over see our Manager of Development/Deck Maker, our Casting Associate and our in-house sizzle editor.

Overall schedule is to generate one pitchable project per week (tape and deck).
Most sizzles will be rip tapes with Skype but some will be actual shoot tapes. So be creative. Be a problem solver. Be someone who can come up with out of the box ways to get stuff done on a budget. And overall, be someone who's great to work with.
Must have a minimum of two years development experience at an a unscripted company with recent sales on the board. Willing to consider someone from casting or field producing background who wants to make a transition into development. Send sizzles you've done, decks/writeups you've written, and anything else that says you know how to find a show, shape the creative, and get a show sold.
