Coordinator, A&E / FYI Linear and Multi-Platform Scheduling

Job Description

THE DIVISON'S STORY
As the saying goes, timing is everything - and no one understands that more than the Scheduling team. In addition to understanding the competitive landscape, we take deep analytical dives into the how's and when's of consumer behavior to ensure we always get the maximum number of eyeballs on our stories. Right next door in Acquisitions, we're focused on buying, licensing and using data to better understand our audience. We're also master negotiators who hate to lose, even if it's a game of ping-pong. Known for building relationships with key distributors, studios, independent producers and foreign network execs, we ensure Lifetime Nets are top of mind when, say, a multimillion-dollar theatrical movie package is being shopped. Do you thrive in a high-stakes, deadline-driven environment? We sure do.
The A&E/FYI Linear and Multi-Platform Scheduling Coordinator works as part of the A&E Program Strategy & Scheduling team. The coordinator will work with all internal departments to ensure premiere dates, scheduling changes, and other key information are being communicated across the company.
