#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
Overview:
If you thrive at the intersection of dealmaking, financial analysis, and creative judgment, this role is for you. We’re hiring a Director, Acquisitions to help shape Paramount Picture’s film slate. This role sits at the center of the studio’s acquisitions strategy, structuring and negotiating deals while partnering closely with finance and legal to evaluate opportunities across the global marketplace. You’ll build deep familiarity with the studio’s output and licensing deals, and use that knowledge to identify commercial opportunities that align with our broader strategy.
You will be the studio’s presence at major festivals and markets, including Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, and AFM, leading internal prep, briefing the EVP, and representing Paramount directly in conversations with filmmakers, producers, and sales agents. Beyond the deal, you’ll stay involved through post-production, offering creative feedback on cuts, and you’ll drive cross-departmental coordination through mastering, marketing, distribution, and publicity to ensure a successful launch.
