• Copywrite 15-word blurbs for each title that will be displayed on our ticketing pages
• assist/give suggestions on themed events/talent
• up to date and in tune with current film industry/developments in London

Fundamentally, you need to be able to advise on the likelihood of popularity of titles with our locations’ audiences.

• Fixed term (ASAP, Until September 1st 2020)
• 2 days per week (16 hours)
• Salary is £1000 per month
