Who are we?

Washington Filmworks is a fully remote not-for-profit 501(c)(6) organization that manages the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program as well as a diversity of resources for the creative industries in Washington State. The mission of Washington Filmworks is to create economic development opportunities by building and enhancing the competitiveness, profile and sustainability of Washington State’s film industry.

So what’s this job in a nutshell?

We are seeking a full-time Program Coordinator who will oversee the day-to-day coordination and operations of the Above the Line Education (ATL) Forum + Mentorship Program, within FWD, our Workforce Development Office. The program is designed to serve emerging filmmakers in Washington State who identify as members of historically underrepresented communities. This position will be responsible for recruitment, program administration, tracking and managing outcomes, and community engagement. This position will also engage with other FWD initiatives as needed.

Who, exactly, are we looking for?

We’re looking for that wonderful balance of skillset and vibe, a creative self-starter experienced in program coordination. You’ll need to be just as comfortable out in the community connecting with industry experts as you are hunkered down in front of your computer mapping program schedules. We’re looking for someone who will be excited by evolving programs and initiatives and an exceptional candidate will have a commitment to equity, increasing access and inclusivity.
