Business Development Associate

Field Work Creative is an internationally recognized film studio producing award-winning documentaries and commercial work for global brands. From the Arctic to Pakistan to the Utah desert, we tell stories that matter and build campaigns that actually move people.

We are looking for a Business Development Associate (Junior EP track) to help grow revenue by building relationships with brands, agencies, and producers who need high-end commercial and documentary production.

This is not a traditional sales role. You are not selling a product. You are opening doors, starting conversations, and helping turn interest into projects.

The ideal candidate is proactive, organized, and comfortable reaching out to new people every day. You should enjoy the hunt, not just the close.

Responsibilities

  • Prospect and research brands, agencies, and creative partners that align with Field Work

  • Initiate outreach via email, LinkedIn, events, and referrals

  • Schedule meetings and maintain the founder’s sales calendar

  • Track leads, conversations, and follow-ups in a simple CRM or spreadsheet

  • Support proposal development, pitch decks, and treatment coordination

  • Maintain relationships with past clients and warm contacts

  • Identify inbound opportunities and partnership possibilities

  • Assist with festival, screening, and industry networking efforts

  • Help ensure no opportunity falls through the cracks

    Qualifications

    • 3–5+ years bringing in work for a creative company, agency, production house, or media brand

    • A real track record of landing projects, not just sending emails

    • Existing relationships with brands, agencies, or producers is a big plus

    • Clear, confident communicator who can talk to CMOs one minute and filmmakers the next

    • Self-starter who doesn’t wait for permission and doesn’t fold at the first “no”

    • Able to put together decks, emails, and proposals that actually move conversations forward

    • Organized enough to track leads, follow-ups, and opportunities without letting things fall through the cracks

    • Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving company where roles blur and things change

    Compensation

    Flexible depending on experience. Options include:

    • Per-meeting compensation + commission on projects closed

    • Path to full Junior Executive Producer role for strong performers

    The role begins with a 150-day uncapped, commission-only ramp-up period designed to reward early wins and accelerate earnings potential. Upon successful performance, you’ll transition to a competitive base + commission structure aligned with your experience, track record, and results.

    Why This Role Exists

    Field Work does not mass-produce ads. We partner with brands to create films and campaigns that require trust, alignment, and strong creative chemistry.

    Your job is to help us meet the right people and start the right conversations.
