About the job
VICE x Team
VICE Studios is an international television and feature film production facility from VICE Media, encompassing the development, production, financing and distribution of multi-platform content for audiences globally. With outposts all over the world, VICE Studios produces quality scripted,
entertainment and factual formats.
Role x You
This role will report to the EVP of US Studios and GM of LATAM & U.S. Hispanics and be a driving force behind the development of fresh, relevant and cutting-edge ideas for new content in both the LATAM and US Hispanics markets. This role will also build relationships and partnerships for the department while supporting and managing productions as needed.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Work with up-and-coming talent, brands and companies to generate compelling partnerships
Solicit and review external pitches for development consideration for LATAM and US Hispanics
Support senior executives in the daily management of assigned series development projects
Support series throughout production including watching dailies and cuts
Pitch IP and projects to talent and potential partners.
Develop and cultivate relationships with industry contacts (agents, managers, studios, networks)
Coordinate check-ins across multiple international time zones
In the short term you are contributing to works in progress and elevating them through strong collaboration with your teammates while also bringing new ideas to the table to develop and add to the active VICE Studios slate.
But after 6 months in this role you’ll be pitching projects actively across to all vendors while continuously developing relationships with external and internal stakeholders across the board.
You have these:
10+ years of creative experience in television or studio
Must have strong writing and excellent communication skills
Proven ability to provide confidentiality and discretion, and act with excellent judgment.
Strong Development history and talent for identifying unique materials across LATAM and US Hispanics market
Strong organizational skills, detail-orientation, and world class prioritization and multi-tasking
Able and willing to travel internationally
Able to speak and read Spanish
We’d love if you also had these:
An extensive knowledge of talent and strong relationships with LATAM industry contacts.
We want to find people who believe in our goals and feel inspired enough to grow while they’re here to fill the role, rather than someone who checks the boxes but isn’t invested. We encourage you to apply and show us what you’ve got.
If you require reasonable accommodation during the application and selection process, please let us know. We will work together to best meet your needs.
