At ISII Group, we're expanding our Development & Content team as we build an ambitious slate of fiction feature films for theatrical release and international audiences.
We're looking for an experienced Development Executive – English Language with exceptional storytelling instincts, strong script development expertise and the ability to lead creative processes from original concepts through to advanced screenplay drafts.
The role
Working directly with our Head of Development, you'll play a key role in identifying, evaluating and developing English-language feature film projects with distinctive creative identities and strong commercial potential.
Key responsibilities:
- Evaluate screenplays, treatments, pitches and projects, identifying their creative and commercial potential.
- Lead script development and rewriting processes in close collaboration with screenwriters and directors.
- Provide insightful, actionable editorial notes on structure, character, conflict, tone and storytelling.
- Scout original projects, IP and emerging or established creative talent.
- Manage assigned development projects, coordinating schedules, deliverables and relationships with talent, agents and internal teams.
What we're looking for:
- At least 4 years of professional experience in feature film development, script editing, script consulting or script doctoring.
- Outstanding understanding of dramatic structure, screenplay development and cinematic storytelling.
- Proven experience working directly with screenwriters through development and rewriting processes.
- C2-level English editorial proficiency or equivalent, with the ability to lead sophisticated creative discussions and produce high-quality development notes.
- Strong knowledge of international film development, particularly the UK and US markets.
- Excellent creative and commercial judgement, combined with organisational skills, autonomy and strong interpersonal abilities.
Experience developing original English-language features, adapting IP and working with international talent and agencies will be particularly valued.
We're looking for someone who can see beyond what's on the page: someone who understands why a story isn't working, knows how to improve it and can guide writers through that creative journey.
If you're passionate about developing compelling stories for the big screen and want to contribute to an internationally focused film slate, we'd love to hear from you.
