Executive Assistant

Paramount is hiring an Executive Assistant to support the Strategy and Insights team at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles. This role sits inside the theatrical research department, where the work spans the full movie lifecycle from pre-greenlight concept testing through final editorial and release campaign development. It suits someone with strong organizational instincts who wants a genuine entry point into audience research and studio strategy rather than a purely administrative track.

About the Role

The Strategy and Insights team at Paramount Pictures operates across every stage of feature film production and release, running audience surveys, focus groups, screenings, and ethnographies that directly inform both the films themselves and the marketing campaigns that sell them. This Executive Assistant role supports senior leadership while also contributing hands-on to primary research work, which makes it a rare administrative position with real visibility into studio decision-making. A typical day might move between managing complex executive calendars and helping coordinate a research screening or compile audience response data.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage scheduling, travel, and logistics for senior leaders within the Strategy and Insights department, keeping the team coordinated across a global research slate.
• Handle confidential research findings, audience data, and internal strategy materials with complete discretion across all stages of the theatrical research pipeline.
• Support the coordination and execution of primary research activities including focus groups, audience screenings, and consumer surveys tied to active Paramount Pictures releases.
• Communicate on behalf of senior executives with internal stakeholders across production, marketing, and development, as well as external research vendors and partners.
• Assist in synthesizing audience insights and preparing materials that inform creative and marketing decisions from brand development through campaign launch.
• Track department priorities and deadlines across multiple concurrent film projects, ensuring senior leadership is prepared and informed at each stage of the release cycle.

What You Bring

• Prior experience supporting a senior executive, ideally within a film studio, production company, or media organization.
• Comfort working with research methodologies such as audience surveys, focus group coordination, or consumer insights reporting.
• Demonstrated ability to manage confidential information and exercise sound judgment when communicating across levels of an organization.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to draft clear correspondence and prepare materials for executive review.
• Genuine interest in theatrical film and how audience research shapes both production decisions and marketing strategy.

Why This Role

Paramount Pictures carries one of the longest-running feature film production legacies in the industry, and the Strategy and Insights team has a direct line to how that slate is developed, tested, and positioned globally. This Executive Assistant role is on-site five days a week on the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Los Angeles, which means regular proximity to the full creative and research process behind major theatrical releases. For someone serious about building a career in film research or studio strategy, this is a credible place to start.
