• Wider support of the marketing team as required

Skills, attributes & experience required

• Experience in a relevant Distribution role (two years plus experience, preferably working at a studio, would be beneficial but not essential)
• Familiarity with the process of film distribution and exhibition
• Proofreading and copywriting skills
• Knowledge of any languages, particularly French, German or Japanese
