Benefits
- Health insurance
Perks
- Bonus
What you'll do
- Build and run the outbound licensing pipeline for owned content into US studios, streamers, and ad-supported platforms
- Close format rights, remake rights, and finished-tape deals end to end, from first conversation through signed long-form agreement
- Develop distribution across Latin America, North America, and emerging platform partners, including co-production and revenue-share structures
- Set pricing and windowing strategy for the catalogue by territory and by rights type
- Build the deal infrastructure: rate card, deal templates, an avails and rights-tracking system, and a quarterly pipeline review
- Represent the company at the markets that matter for these territories, AFM, NATPE, MIPCOM, with meetings booked in advance
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in content sales, distribution, or licensing at a studio, distributor, or major streamer, with a documented track record of closed deals and the revenue attached to them
- An active network of decision-makers at the SVP and EVP level across the major studios and streamers
- Deal fluency: you can structure format versus finished-tape versus remake rights, negotiate minimum guarantees and back-end, and read a long-form distribution agreement without waiting on counsel for the basics
- Comfort selling a non-traditional format, vertical short drama is unfamiliar to most buyers, and you can build the category case rather than only pitch a title
- Direct experience selling into Latin America and North America, including familiarity with the regional broadcaster and streamer landscape
- Spanish or Portuguese capability a strong plus
- Prior work with unscripted, sports, or brand-adjacent IP a plus
- Existing agency and management relationships a plus
