EndemolShine Australia is searching for a creative, dynamic, and detail orientated Development Producer to bring
their passion, curiosity, ingenuity to our ideas pipeline - originating & developing formats, sharpening mechanics, and
packaging concepts into decks and sizzles that sell. You’ll join a highly experienced team with a big new international
remit and a bias for fun, fast, and collaborative iteration.
The role
Observe, ideate, and share: kernels of ideas for transforming
into original TV formats.
Originate & interrogate formats: Turn toplines into testable,
returnable shows across entertainment, competitive reality,
talent‑led and fact ent spaces. Pressure‑test the playability,
scalability and commercial potential of new formats.
Design the play: Build fair, producible rules and beat‑by‑beat
flows with jeopardy, reveals, twists, and pace tuned as required to
suit format, buyer, and audience.
Package to win the room: Create persuasive one‑pagers,
premium Keynote decks and punchy sizzles; script/oversee sizzles
and test shoots.
Test & iterate quickly: Coordinate tabletop playtests and office
run‑throughs; capture learnings and refine.
Position smartly: Track briefs, slots, genre trends, ratings, IP
movement, and competitor moves; tailor materials to buyers
across Australian, international and streamer markets.
Research with purpose: Build evidence‑led comparisons, and
insights that strengthen creative and commercial framing.
Work smarter with tools: Open to using AI to accelerate &
enhance execution, while maintaining originality and quality.
You’re the one that we want if...
You are an idea generator with strong commercial instincts and a
sharp sense of what feels fresh, buzzy, addictive, and sellable.
Can translate a spoken brief into best‑in‑class sales materials -
quickly and with craft.
Bring a confident deck aesthetic: typography, layout, GFX, and
visual grammar tailored to different channels and streamers.
You can work fast and autonomously once the brainstorming is
done and the targets are set.
Write clean and persuasive copy.
Live close to pop culture and social trends; you spot talent‑led
opportunities in headlines and feeds.
You can zoom out and connect the dots to transform a good idea
into a brilliant idea that becomes ‘must have’.
You are hungry, curious, tenacious, robust, and fun.
Understand international and streamer sensibilities, including
audience needs, tone and visual grammar by platform.
You have strong observation skills and a keen interest in
human behaviour.
Are a clear, persuasive communicator who networks easily and
builds trust—while maintaining confidentiality and discretion.
What success looks like
Tight, testable formats that read clearly, play cleanly and convert
in buyer rooms.
Decks and sizzles that communicate look, feel and audience
engagement at a glance.
Smart positioning across local, international and streamer
buyers that shortens the path to greenlight.
Energy, fresh perspective, and unique interests & insights that
contribute to ESA’s creativity.
Skills & tools
Keynote (must‑have) and PowerPoint with a premium eye for
typography, layout, imagery, branding & GFX, and channel‑specific
visual grammar.
Premiere Pro or Final Cut for sizzles/teasers; Photoshop for key
art/posters (or willingness to upskill).
Strong research practice; comfortable leading gameplay sessions
and measuring what works.
