Creative Diversity Network is working to put equality at the heart of UK broadcasting, helping the industry measure, understand and improve diversity through collaboration and data led insight.

We are developing a new and improved version of our diversity data collection tool and research programme, Diamond. To make sure the changes work for the TV community and support a smooth switch, we're developing partnerships, running sessions, and making resources for cast, crew and creative companies across the UK. We are also working on plans to enable and encourage participation once Diamond is live.

This is a hands on role combining strategic engagement with ownership of delivery, including event coordination and administration.
