About The Position

Tubi is seeking an experienced, deal-driven content executive to join our Content Acquisitions & Partnerships team as Manager, Content Acquisition. This role will focus on building out Tubi’s portfolio of creator, podcast, and other emerging content-format partnerships by identifying and closing licensing agreements that bring fresh, engaging content to our platform. Reporting to the Director of Content Acquisitions & Partnerships, you will own deals from conceptualization through execution, working hand in hand with Creator Partnerships and Legal teams to structure and finalize agreements. The ideal candidate is a relationship-builder with real deal-making chops: someone who understands the streaming and creator economy landscape, is comfortable negotiating commercial terms, and knows how to get a contract across the finish line. This is a hybrid role based out of our Los Angeles, CA office.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in content licensing, acquisitions, business development, or partnerships at a studio, agency, talent/Creator management company, podcast network, or streaming/digital media platform.
• Demonstrated experience negotiating and closing content licensing or talent deals, including structuring deal terms and working directly with Legal to finalize contracts.
• Established relationships within the Creator economy, podcast industry, and/or talent agencies and management companies.
• Solid understanding of content licensing structures, rights, and deal economics (e.g., revenue share, licensing fees, minimum guarantees).
• Comfort operating in a fast-evolving space and building deal structures for new and emerging content formats.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to represent Tubi externally and build trust with creators and partners.
• Strong analytical skills; able to use data and performance metrics to inform deal-making and content strategy.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple deals and projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• You're equally comfortable driving deals forward independently and partnering closely with Legal, Creator Partnerships, and other cross-functional teams to reach aligned outcomes.
• Bachelor’s degree required
