The New Zealand Film Commission has recently been through change to both our strategy and our structure.
We are looking for an Investment and Development Executive (Executive) to join our Auckland based team to administer development and production funding for New Zealand feature films (scripted and unscripted). They will contribute to processes that support the New Zealand Film Commission to make quality development and investment decisions.
The Executive provides advice to the filmmaking community about our funding processes. They are the key point of contact for applicants and their teams and assist them from end to end with their NZFC engagement and provide summary information and advice internally on the applicants for funding.
The Executive assesses scripts, and other creative submission documents and makes recommendations to support exciting projects and teams. They then provide guidance and support to successful applicants to ensure a rigorous development process.
They also assess production funding applications and work with assessors and the wider team to make recommendations to the Board. This includes assessment of budget, cashflow, finance documents and associated contracts and all the associated administration.
Once a film receives production funding from NZFC, the Executive supports the team through the contractual close process and liaises with the Legal and Business Affairs team to ensure the best outcomes possible for the film, and that both the filmmakers and the NZFC’s needs are met through the contracting process.
