Having reliable, accurate and searchable archives and information is essential to the S&P team and its ability to provide consistent decision-making from an informed basis for discussing past and new precedents, and to consult with the programming teams and identify content that raises potential concerns based upon breaking news and sensitive issues. The Coordinator will communicate missing ratings to Programming and other groups as needed.
• The Coordinator is responsible for tracking metrics for all elements reviewed by S&P for HBO Max and the assigned television networks and area of responsibility. These metrics must be detailed and able to be sorted by network or distribution platform, show, episode, element type, date or S&P editor who reviewed content. The Coordinator also may be responsible for researching, tracking and documenting all acquired media that is to be delivered based on programming licensing deals in order to keep the editors updated and supplied with materials and information as well as compiling edit notes received from temporary editors. The Coordinator provides reports to S&P management on a regular basis outlining current metrics and comparisons to previous months/quarters/years in order to understand production demands.
• The Coordinator will be tasked with special projects and other work responsibilities. The Coordinator will assist the Senior Coordinator responsible for monitoring breaking news, identifying notable public events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and deaths of public figures, researching and cross-referencing any programming that contains similar events or the individuals at issue, and alerting executives about upcoming scheduling that potentially could be perceived as insensitive by viewers.
