Main Responsibilities
The Senior Programme Executive assesses a variety of solicited and unsolicited unscripted content. In this role you will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of acquired unscripted content from the initial acquisition right through to delivery and transmission and beyond.  
You will deal with a high volume of acquisitions and will require an expertise in editorial policy and compliance in order to identify potential problematic content. You will be required to keep current with Ofcom judgements and complaints which arise in relation to acquired and commissioned content. You will build and maintain external relationships with suppliers. You will be able to pinpoint programmes the BBC should be offering to meet audience need, editorial priorities and diversity in our content.  You will foster creativity in others and leverage your skills and experience in the promotion of acquired unscripted programming throughout its lifecycle at the BBC.
Are you the right candidate?
You will have:
  • Experience and interest in the global unscripted programme market – this could be Production experience (Producer level or above), Commissioning or Distribution experience (Sales & Acquisition Manager or above).
  • Strong editorial experience and judgement.
  • A strong understanding of evolving audience requirements and the importance of diversity in our content.
  • A demonstrable approach to building and managing relationships with key suppliers.
  • Good organisational and time management skills, with a keen eye for detail, ability to work independently and under pressure.
  • Good interpersonal skills and experience of stakeholder management, both internally and externally.
About the BBC

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.
We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC – whether that’s to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.
We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We will consider flexible working requests for all roles, unless operational requirements prevent otherwise.
