On-siteAdministrative$50k–$64k/yrFull-time

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.

About the role

Join the Strategy and Insights team at Paramount Pictures and be part of a dynamic group who work across the entire lifecycle of the theatrical movie experience. Unlike traditional marketing, our insights team is involved from concept to release, ensuring the consumer’s voice is at the heart of every decision—from brand development to fan engagement, to the actual movie in its final editorial stage, to identifying messaging for creative marketing materials that truly resonate.

The Insights team drives impactful, data-driven decisions through audience surveys, focus groups, ethnographies, and screenings. Our global insights inform production and tailor marketing campaigns that excite moviegoers worldwide. This role sits at the center of the department, supporting its senior leadership and working closely with the wider team. It also offers a spectacular view of the movie lifecycle from pre-greenlight to release, and of how research shapes both the film itself and the campaign that sells it.

This is an on-site role based on the Paramount Pictures Studio Lot requiring five days in office.

  • Maintain the overall department calendar and that of the Executive Vice President and Senior Vice President, scheduling key meetings across the studio.
  • Compile and maintain files with relevant materials for meetings, reading the calendar ahead to anticipate what will be needed.

  • Answer and screen phone calls and email, taking action when appropriate and following up as needed.
  • Maintain high levels of discretion when dealing with confidential research documents, reports, meetings, and expenses.
  • Contribute to entry-level research work, including:

    • Analyzing and distributing box office projections.
    • Contributing to the development of deliverables and presentations for departments across the studio.
    • Landscape research to understand trends within the broader moviegoing industry.
  • Be a vocal and active contributor to brainstorming sessions and meetings.
  • Be excited by movies and in tune with current releases.

Requirements

  • 1+ years of related experience.
  • Good language and problem-solving skills.
  • Solid comfort with numbers and spreadsheets.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface with staff, other administrators, internal and external partners, and senior management.
