• Minimum 3 years of executive experience in the entertainment industry (book scouting, film/TV creative executive, publishing/editorial work, media rights representation; a combination of these fields is preferred.)
• A collaborative teammate who not only contributes ideas and feedback, but who also has the ability to pivot easily to changes internally and in the marketplace.
• A commitment to diverse and inclusive storytelling and helping to identify marginalized voices that have traditionally not been represented on screen.
• Experience with interacting and engaging with executives, producers and high-level talent internally, as well as representatives, authors, and industry contacts externally.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills. 
• Fluency in French, German, Spanish, Italian or a Scandinavian language preferred but not required.
