Job Introduction


The BBC Studios Kids & Family's Animation Development Team is responsible for a wide range of multi-platform animation and puppetry including JoJo & Gran Gran, Supertato, Go Jetters, and Love Monster.

We are looking for an experienced Animation Development Producer to join our team.

Main Responsibilities


As Animation Development Producer, you will seek out and develop new animation content for the BBC Studios Kids & Family Animation slate.


You will respond quickly and creatively to commissioning briefs to develop projects for TV to the highest standards, playing an important role in securing new commissions for the Kids & Family Animation department.


You will act as the Creative Lead on Development projects assigned to you, working with internal and external creative partners to bring each idea to life.

You will also work collaboratively with Commissioners to ensure that the projects meet the expectations of potential broadcasters for each project.


You'll provide editorial input to the team in areas including responding to the submission of story ideas, scripts and books.

Working alongside another Animation Development Producer and the Head of Animation Development, you'll also contribute to the ongoing development strategy of the team.

Are you the right candidate?


You'll have a strong creative track record and experience of developing television ideas to commission with the knowledge and experience of working with global linear and streaming platforms and their brand values.

You'll have a good knowledge of both experienced and emerging writers, as well as strong existing relationships with a wide range of creatives and animation companies.


The ideal candidate will have experience of developing animation as well as a good knowledge of the audience and the wider children's animation industry in the UK and internationally.


You will assist in creating finance models for animation production and have a good knowledge of potential finance partners, as well as an understanding of UK & international tax credits.


You'll also have substantial script editing experience with a fluent writing style (for script notes, sales materials to name but a few).

Experience of working in scripted animation development is desirable.

Knowledge and experience of multi-platform development is important and experience of working with international co-production partners would be an asset.


You'll have plenty of initiative, be able to adapt quickly to new challenges and enjoy working within a small, busy team.
