An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Hertfordshire LEP team. We're seeking a Hertfordshire Film Office Manager to set up and provide a one-stop-shop service for film and TV-related activities across the county.
The creative and screen industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK, with just over half of the new studio space being planned and delivered in London and the south-east coming to Hertfordshire. If all the studio floorspace planned for the county is delivered then over time Hertfordshire will exceed Hollywood in area of sound stages.
Apply by 2 January 2023.
This rapid and large-scale growth highlights the need for a consistent and co-ordinated approach to ensuring that we have the right eco-system in place to exploit the opportunities presented by the creative and screen industry. In particular we consider that there is a heightened need for a more coordinated approach to a local film location service and associated activities.
About the role
This role sits within the Partnerships and Communications function of Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership, comprising inward investment and stakeholder engagement in addition to communications, while also aligning with skills, enterprise and innovation activity.
The role of the Hertfordshire Film Office Manager is to set up and provide a one-stop-shop service for film and TV-related activities across the county. The role will require working closely with Creative UK, local authorities in Hertfordshire and other key intermediaries such as Production Guild, together with production companies, location managers, and studios.
The role will require strong collaborative and communication skills, with the capability to build external relationships that will ensure the delivery of location activities while meeting the needs of local authorities, the local community and local businesses. While mainly engaging with key businesses, individuals and stakeholders at a local level, this role will work across and beyond Hertfordshire where appropriate.
Applications close on 2 January 2023.
