Executive Assistant, Production (Disney Kids & Family)
Disney is hiring an Executive Assistant, Production (Disney Kids & Family) based in Burbank, CA. This role sits within Disney Entertainment Television and provides direct administrative support to one or more executives overseeing scripted and unscripted content for Disney+, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD. It suits a production-savvy assistant who already knows the difference between a greenlight meeting and a table read, and who can hold a complex slate together without being told twice.
About the Role
Disney Kids & Family develops and produces film and television content across four major platforms, which means the project calendar at any given moment spans early development, active production, and post-production simultaneously. The executive or executives you support are working across all of it, coordinating with producers, talent representatives, writers, and finance partners on projects at every stage. A typical day moves between calendar triage, document prep, budget tracking, and fielding calls from external partners across time zones.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage complex, shifting calendars for one or more executives, covering development sessions, pitch meetings, table reads, greenlight meetings, and production check-ins across multiple time zones.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for studios, talent agencies, producers, and internal teams, using sound judgment about what reaches the executive and when.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel tied to production schedules and location visits, building detailed itineraries that account for set logistics.
- Track department budgets, expense reports, invoices, and purchase orders in partnership with Production Finance, ensuring accuracy and timely submission.
- Maintain version control over script drafts, casting materials, and production schedules, keeping confidential documents organized and accessible to the right people.
- Support onboarding of new hires, vendors, and consultants, including equipment access and paperwork processing tied to episodic television and film projects.
What You Bring
- Three or more years of experience as an executive assistant, preferably within film or television production.
- Familiarity with the development and production workflow for scripted or unscripted content, including how post-production calendars affect executive availability.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, specifically Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Experience with Concur or a comparable travel and expense platform is a plus.
- Demonstrated ability to handle confidential talent and project information with discretion across a high-volume slate.
