Level: Trainee / early career development opportunity
Start: 2 Oct 2023 or earlier

WHO WE ARE
Established in 2009 by Claudia Bluemhuber, Silver Reel is a home for the world’s most exciting talent behind and in front of the camera. We develop, produce, and finance relevant, pioneering, and high-quality content, entertaining and impacting audiences around the world.
Bringing to life both feature film and scripted TV projects, we have built an international reputation and a proud network with studios (incl. HBO, BBC, Sony, Disney, A24, Fremantle, Working Title Films etc.), agents, and A-list talent.
Silver Reel is the company behind Emmy nominated series 'Most Dangerous Game', Academy-Award nominated and Golden Globe winning 'The Wife', Academy-Award nominated 'Loving Vincent', critics’ darling 'Under The Skin', and acclaimed works such as 'Official Secrets', 'Breathe', 'Eye In The Sky', and 'The Railway Man'. Current projects include 'Fallen', a series directed by Matt Hastings (EP on 'The Handmaid’s Tale') based on the #1 NY Times bestselling novel series of the same name, and 'Paradise Highway' starring Academy-Award winners Juliette Binoche and Morgan Freeman.
YOUR ROLE
We are a relatively small team with many active projects. This allows for a broad range of exposure to all aspects of a production company and a wide variety of day-to-day responsibilities. This may include reading scripts, writing coverage, research, assisting in a specific area of a project and with general office duties. You will spend time across our Film and Television slate, in both development and production roles, on a project-focused basis. You will be working alongside experienced creative and production executives to gain first-hand experience of developing projects from their inception through to production and release. This is a fantastic, unique opportunity for anyone wishing to build a career in scripted production and develop the real-world skills needed to succeed.
We are seeking a reliable, smart, high-energy outperformer who is eager to get into the world of international filmed entertainment. The ideal individual possesses a respectable, professional communication style. The right candidate has an extreme attention to detail, doesn’t know everything, pro-actively asks questions, makes and owns mistakes (though learns not do the same mistake twice).
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
▪ Learning to coordinate and, when requested, attending meetings with internal and external parties, working across multiple calendars; providing meeting minutes, taking notes, and tracking follow ups; learning to organise and prioritise deadlines
▪ Participating in creating materials such as presentation decks and proposals for outgoing pitch
▪ Learning to review material submissions which include pitch decks, scripts, books by submitting and discussing your analysis and recommendation
▪ Learning the process on a shoot by supporting the Director/Producer on potential shoots
▪ Bringing your knowledge of film/tv and pop culture to our team
▪ Providing support to Producers on projects
▪ Assisting in updating various director / writer / talent grids
▪ Research Assignments / Online research
▪ Support in general office work and everyday business
▪ Running errands and providing refreshments when necessary
As usual, exact responsibilities are likely to vary during the course of your time spent in this role. Please note that management has the right to add or change duties and job requirements at any time.
THE ESSENTIALS
▪ Meticulous work style, above-and-beyond detail orientation
▪ Ability to keep calm under pressure and contribute to a smooth day-to-day operation
▪ Exceptional accountability, consistency, and organizational skills
▪ Ability to communicate clearly and accurately in professional manner
▪ Optimistic can-do problem-solving mindset
▪ Ability to take direction and complete tasks independently when required
▪ Ability to ask for help when needed
▪ Absolute discretion pertaining to confidential information
▪ Humble, diligent, collaborative, intellectually curious, and ambitious
▪ Higher Proficiency in Excel (basic formulas are a must), Word, and PowerPoint
▪ Must be eligible to work in Switzerland
THE NICE TO HAVES
▪ Proficiency in other languages besides English (and German)
▪ Previous work experience in the industry or in an executive assistant role
▪ Love for reading
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AND WILL LEARN
▪ You are offered a unique insight into what it is like to work in an international Film and Television production company
▪ You will gain exposure and experience in understanding “what’s” important
▪ You will gain hands-on experience working on business-critical projects
▪ You will be exposed to critical meetings and the issues discussed there
▪ You can expect to have hands-on training in everything needed to succeed in your role and next step on the Producers’ career path
▪ You will learn to navigate tight deadlines and quick turnarounds in a fast-paced production environment
▪ You will develop an understanding of common challenges, and will be able to prevent them
▪ You can expect collaborative work with and mentorship from passionate, talented team members
▪ You will get the insider scoop on the entertainment industry and what happens behind the scenes
▪ Real-life experience that will provide you with the confidence to successfully navigate the business
▪ The end-to-end production workflow process, the key stages, and the producer’s role within it
▪ The different styles of writing that can be used according to the genre of production.
We look for diverse, distinctive voices, and encourage applications from all kinds of candidates.
