Ultimo, New South Wales, Australia ABC Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Ready to hit the ground running? ABC's Children & Family Commission's team is on the lookout for a dynamic and experienced Development Producer to lead the development of specific content made for children's audiences across projects pitched by independent producers.

This is a fast-paced, 6-month contract where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of children's content—both internally and through partnerships with independent producers. You'll assess the suitability and viability of both solicited and unsolicited program proposals, providing insightful analysis and clear communication to support decision-making. Working closely with the Content Coordinator, you'll manage the external submissions portal and input information in Children & Family databases, facilitate assessment workflow and chair regular submissions meetings.

You'll have exceptional organisational and project management skills, a flair for creative assessment, and the ability to communicate effectively with diverse audiences. Leadership experience, market awareness of the Australian children's content sector, and a deep enthusiasm for children's and family programming are essential. Knowledge of all stages of production—including script editing, casting, and animation processes—is highly valued.

If you bring proven experience in scripted content development, thrive under pressure, and have a high-level experience and enthusiasm for children's and family content programming, we want to hear from you.

Step into a role where your ideas matter and your impact is felt—apply now and help shape the stories that inspire Australia's next generation.
