Expertise in various areas of the film, television and new-media industry, such as creativity, production financing, distribution and marketing, script writing, trade and cultural agreements, market, trends, etc., along with a solid understanding of the regulated bodies of this industry, would be definite assets. The ability to manage a multidisciplinary team and balance artistic vision and commercial acumen to negotiate successfully are highly desirable.

Salary Range: From $128,300 to $150,900

The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate to the Greater Montréal Region or to a location within reasonable commuting distance and expect to travel on a frequent basis.
