FULL JD
AFTER PARTY STUDIOS Development Producer,
This is a mid to senior development role for a producer with a strong track record in broadcast and/or streaming entertainment.
You’ll create new formats from scratch, drive your projects from first idea to pitch ready, and help shape APS’s entertainment slate across terrestrial, SVOD and digital commissioners.
You’ll bring the craft of the format: the mechanic, the jeopardy, the returnability. We’ll give you a company where digital thinking is built into every idea. If you already understand how YouTube works and how a format can live across both worlds, even better.

? Develop new entertainment formats from first spark to a pitch ready deck, tape or treatment, driving your own projects day to daY
? Originate ideas across studio ents, game shows, entertainment reality, talent led and factual entertainment
? Write and build pitch decks, one pagers and format bibles to a high standard
? Prepare and support pitches to broadcasters, streamers and brands, including Netflix, Paramount +, Disney +, Apple, Prime Video, Channel 4, BBC, ITV, Sky and more, joining the Head of Entertainment in the room and building commissioner relationships over time
? Develop talent attachments, both established TV talent and, where relevant, creator talent
? Work closely with the Head of Entertainment on development strategy and the annual slate
? Supervise and mentor junior development staff
? Stay across the landscape: what commissioners are asking for, what’s rating and streaming well, and where the gaps are
? Support casting strategy and taster tapes where formats need them Skills & Experience Essential
? A proven track record in entertainment development at an indie or broadcaster. You’ve originated or developed formats that were commissioned, or contributed meaningfully to shows that were
? Strong format instincts. You know what makes a concept repeatable, returnable and big enough for a series
? Excellent writing: clear, compelling pitch documents, treatments and format bibles
? Experience preparing and supporting pitches to broadcast or streaming commissioners and working through feedback and development cycles
? Good knowledge of entertainment talent and how attachments work in the pitching process
? The ability to originate ideas independently, not just develop other people’s
? Strong organisation across multiple projects and deadlines
? A collaborative style. This is a small team and no one works in silos Desirable
? A genuine understanding of YouTube and creator culture: how titles, thumbnails and retention shape a format, and how creator talent differs from traditional casting
? Experience developing formats that work across linear, streaming and digital, or that have been spun out for YouTube or social
? Existing relationships with ents commissioners, particularly in streaming or the youth space
? Experience working with creator talent or their management
? Brand partnership or branded entertainment experience
? Experience producing taster tapes or sizzles
? Familiarity with Figma or equivalent for building decks ? Knowledge of the sports, music or fashion entertainment verticals
Who You Are
You’ve come up through TV entertainment development, at an indie, a super indie or a broadcaster, and you know what it takes to get a format ready for a commissioner. You think in mechanics, precedents and series runs. You’re curious about where entertainment is heading. Maybe you’ve already been watching what’s happening on YouTube and wondering how it changes the way formats get made. You don’t need to be a creator world expert on day one, but you’re excited to work somewhere it’s part of the conversation. You have real creative ambition. You want to make shows that return, not just get things over the line, and you’re comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of a growing company.
What We Offer
? Real creative ownership of your ideas and development projects from day one
? Access to an established network of commissioners, creators and brand clients
? A collaborative, creatively ambitious environment
? Based in London (Corsica Street, Islington)
