· If candidate is in LA may attend meetings on behalf of Manager or with client if needed.
Ideal Candidate
· Strong interest in becoming a Literary Manager
· Experience with coverage, notes, or script analysis
· Excellent organizational and communication skills
· Comfortable in fast-moving creative environments
· Proficient in Discord, Mac/PC, and Microsoft Office
· Discreet, professional, and proactive
Bonus:
· Based in Los Angeles or Florida or planning to relocate
