This individual acts as a broker and negotiator between multiple internal and external stakeholders including programming, sales, legal, clients, vendors, and internal fulfillment teams, and is expected to take the lead in the coordination and fulfillment of content to worldwide partners and platforms. As the front face of our team, you'll help to maintain our ''best-in-class'' standards for distribution operations.

MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL DO:

The Digital Scheduling coordinator will manage the flow of information and materials for all matters related to deal fulfillment and distribution including onboarding, delivery requirements, content availability dates and partner rejection management, post-delivery.

You will leverage A+E's enterprise systems to update fulfillment records with revisions associated to date changes, metadata updates and video updates when necessary.

Fantastic communication skills are a must. This individual manages all aspects of internal and external partner communication, responding to ad hoc requests and ensuring that questions and concerns are resolved quickly and efficiently.

In this role, you'll build relationships with your assigned clients and maintain updated information on client contacts and technical requirements.

Sales and Legal will look for your input during the deal negotiation process, to provide guidance on technical requirements, material costs, program availability, and delivery timelines.

Marketing, Ad Sales, and Distribution teams will look to you to manage requests for all promotional stunts.

You're well-versed in AirTable & Excel and can create and manage project trackers with ease. You'll be responsible for maintaining oversight of priority program requests for international channel partners and sales deals and will work with internal teams to keep new program assets moving quickly through the internal pipeline.

In addition to generating fulfillment orders for international channel partners and sales deals, this individual coordinates with internal fulfillment teams and external vendors to ensure that priority orders are fully processed and delivered by their due dates, and that rejections are resolved within 72 hours.

YOUR STORY:

The ideal candidate is a critical thinker and a proactive problem-solver. You love efficiency and aren't afraid to jump in, work through obstacles and keep your project moving forward.

You have knowledge of file formats and global media standards, giving you a firm understanding of technical requirements and distribution workflows.

You've worked in client-facing roles, so you possess a high level of diplomacy and excellent customer service skills. You know how to interact effectively and collaboratively across all levels of the organization. Your friendly, can-do attitude and poise under fire make you a trusted colleague and partner.

Strong time management skills and the ability to balance multiple projects and priorities are among your strengths. The ideal candidate possesses amazing attention to detail, but always has an eye on the broader strategic needs of the business. You're flexible and able to pivot quickly to meet changing demands and business needs.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

On our team, you will have exposure to all the inner workings of what it takes to get our content out the door and on the eyes of the world.
