I'm looking for an experienced Broadcast Clearance Specialist for an exciting freelance opportunity with a leading global agency, supporting a major international brand's Q4 Linear TV campaign .
This is a genuinely specialist role for someone with strong, hands-on Clearcast experience who can come in quickly, take ownership of the broadcast clearance process and help establish a robust workflow for the agency.
The role
You'll be responsible for managing the end-to-end TV advertising clearance process , working across creative, client services and media teams to ensure campaigns are compliant, cleared and delivered on time.
There's also an element of building the capability from scratch . The agency is establishing a new broadcast clearance workflow, so alongside the live campaign work, you'll help define processes, capacity and best practice for future projects.
What you'll be doing
- Managing TV commercial clearance from script/concept through to final approval and transmission
- Managing submissions and approvals through Clearcast
- Potentially supporting clearance through ARPP in France
- Reviewing scripts, claims and creative against relevant CAP/BCAP advertising codes
- Identifying potential compliance issues and advising creative teams on required changes
- Managing legal substantiation and clearance documentation
- Coordinating between creative, media, client services and local market teams
- Managing tight Q4 deadlines and ensuring assets are cleared in time for media schedules
- Helping establish a clear, repeatable broadcast clearance workflow
- Advising on realistic capacity, timelines and resource requirements
- Creating a practical broadcast clearance playbook for future campaigns
What we're looking for
You'll need to be someone who can genuinely hit the ground running in a specialist broadcast environment.
Essential:
- Strong, hands-on experience managing Clearcast submissions and TV commercial clearance
- 4+ years' experience in broadcast traffic, clearance, post-production or a closely related agency environment
- Strong understanding of CAP/BCAP codes and advertising compliance
- Experience managing the clearance process from early creative/script stages through to final delivery
- Confident working with creatives, clients, media teams and other stakeholders
- Highly organised, process-driven and comfortable working to tight deadlines
- Able to advise on workflows and capacity, rather than simply following an existing process
Desirable (these are not essential but they are amazing if someone has!)
- Practical experience with ARPP / French broadcast clearance
- French language skills
- Experience establishing or improving broadcast clearance processes
- Experience working across international/multi-market campaigns
The opportunity
This is an initial contract through to the end of December 2026 , with an immediate start.
It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being the subject matter expert - taking ownership of the day-to-day clearance work while also helping an agency build a new capability and process around broadcast clearance.
