The Match Factory is a leading world sales and production company representing director-driven films by renowned filmmakers like Aki Kaurismäki, Alice Rohrwacher, Fatih Akin, Karim Ainouz, Christian Petzold, as well as young upcoming talents. Our films are regularly presented at festivals all over the world, including Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto and have won the most prestigious awards, such as the Oscar® Best International Feature, Golden Bear, Golden Palme and Golden Globe amongst others. Since January 2022, we are part of MUBI.

Responsibilities:

A front-facing position that involves the smooth coordination, quality checking and filing of materials (video and audio files, documentation, marketing materials etc.) with production companies, as well as liaising with distributors on the efficient delivery and invoicing of final materials.

Organizational responsibilities include the tracking, updating and overview of materials for multiple films through Google Sheets, and regular communication with our lab to ensure the secure storage of all files.

Your profile:

  • You are reliable, responsible and have keen administrative skills. You should be familiar with common office applications, Google Workspace and Mac OS, and feel confident in working across a number of projects simultaneously.
  • You are a proactive communicator, may have had experience in customer service and generally enjoy intensive teamwork.
  • You are currently a student and enrolled in a university degree programme.
  • We require an interest in film, and a very good command of written and spoken English.
  • A technical affinity (for example, knowledge of file types, codecs and material formats) is a plus, but training will be provided.

We offer you an exciting and challenging job in a pleasant environment with an international, dedicated team who share a passion for film. The remuneration is 13,50 €/hour.

Please send your application including CV and a short motivation letter to Jenna Roberts (jenna.roberts@matchfactory.de).
