Job  |  Services LLC

Are you interested in shaping the future of movies? Amazon MGM Studios is hiring a Contract Manager on the Business Affairs (BA) team where you will help Amazon MGM Studios deliver innovative content.

Are you a data-driven contract manager with roots in the entertainment industry? We're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Contract Manager to join our team in Culver City, California — someone who thrives at the intersection of complex deal-making and data analysis.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with entertainment industry agreements and a fluency in the deal terms, structures, and dynamics that drive the business — whether from an agency, production company, studio, or network. You know how to move fast without sacrificing accuracy, and you're energized by high-volume, high-stakes work that demands both analytical rigor and sound judgment.

In this role, you'll partner closely with cross-functional teams, translating complex contractual and business data into clear, actionable insights. You're someone who can independently manage competing priorities, respond with urgency when it counts, and consistently deliver results with minimal oversight.

Above all, you bring a rare combination of technical skill, business acumen, and the discretion required to handle highly confidential information with the utmost professionalism — at every level of the organization.

• High volume deal and option tracking and analysis, including various report and grid maintenance.
• Own corporate approval over development and pre-greenlight spend on various film projects.
• Work cross-functionally with internal production and finance teams and with film production staff to delineate terms and ensure talent payments are made in a timely manner.
• Act as an internal and external point of contact for deal related questions and inquiries.

• Experience in a similar role with business affairs/contracts/legal or television distribution licensing background.
• Knowledge of purchase orders and invoice payments.
• Experience with Microsoft Office products and applications.
• Experience with data analysis tools such as Excel, Pivot Tables, SQL, Tableau, etc.
• Quantitative analysis skills.

• Experience in international intellectual property rights licensing businesses (preferably from the wider media, television, film or computer game industry).
• Experience working with third party contractual relationships (record labels, publishers).

Job duties for this position include: work safely and cooperatively with other employees, supervisors, and staff; adhere to standards of excellence despite stressful conditions; communicate effectively and respectfully with employees, supervisors, and staff to ensure exceptional customer service; and follow all federal, state, and local laws and Company policies. Criminal history may have a direct, adverse, and negative relationship with some of the material job duties of this position.

These include the duties and responsibilities listed above, as well as the abilities to adhere to company policies, exercise sound judgment, effectively manage stress and work safely and respectfully with others, exhibit trustworthiness and professionalism, and safeguard business operations and the Company’s reputation. Pursuant to the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
