TVF International (www.tvfinternational.com), part of the TVF Group, is currently the UK’s leading independent provider of documentary programming to the international market. We identify the needs of international and UK broadcasters and acquire programmes from programme makers to fulfil those needs. Our team is divided into those acquiring from producers and those selling into broadcasters.

As a trainee based in London, you will learn about the business and provide valuable support to the sales team. At the end of your training period you will join the broadcaster side of the business. You will also help in preparing for markets, the next being in Cannes in late October, and developing and pitching our programming.

All candidates will need to have a good degree (fluency in more than one language is an advantage), be able to demonstrate a passion for documentary programming and new forms of communication, and have the charisma, charm and force of personality to have the potential to enthuse broadcasters with programming and close deals.

Closing Date: 19/07/2010
