Commitment: 1 day per week (remote) from the end of May to November

About the role

PRIFF is looking for a highly organised and proactive Judging Operations Assistant to support one of PRIFF's most important areas: their jury and voting process. This role sits at the centre of upholding the integrity and quality of their awards, helping build and manage a diverse, thoughtful, and engaged voting jury.

For PRIFF 2026, they are assembling a team of 90+ voting jurors, and this role will be instrumental in shaping those groups and ensuring a smooth, professional judging experience from start to finish.

What you'll do

• Research and identify potential jurors who align with specific categories, genres, and industry roles
• Support the building and structuring of jury groups across all festival categories
• Assist with onboarding jurors, including communications, guidance, and materials
• Act as a key point of contact for jurors throughout the judging period
• Support jurors with any questions or issues related to voting, access, or process
• Help ensure deadlines are met and the overall voting process runs smoothly

What PRIFF are looking for

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confident, professional written communication
• An interest in film, the industry, and emerging talent
• Ability to manage multiple conversations and tasks at once
• Reliability and the ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule
• Experience in coordination, operations, or outreach is a plus, but not essential

What you'll gain

• Hands on experience in festival operations and jury management
• Insight into how judging and awards processes are structured at an international festival level
• Opportunities to connect with industry professionals and creatives
• A central role in shaping PRIFF's judging standards and experience

Volunteers in London can receive a per diem for lunch and travel to the festival on days they are working.

Volunteers also get access to all blocks, a discount on tickets for friends and family, and free access to the awards ceremony.
