THE ROLE
The Forward Planning Team is responsible for booking celebrity guests and preparing segments in advance.
The team lines up top talent to travel to Glasgow and join us in the studio, covering trending topics, social media, dance moves, or box office hits, ensuring the show stays current and engaging for our audience.
Working with the FWD Planning Producer and Researcher, the Fwd Planning AP suggests guests, contacts agents for availability, and helps develop creative, fun items for the show and celebrities.
We seek an experienced Assistant Producer with strong communication skills, a proven track record of generating and executing segment ideas, and experience working with talent and agents. A background in Development is advantageous but not essential. Studio experience isn't required.
