Executive Assistant, Strategy and Insights, Paramount Pictures

Job Position(s): Executive Assistant, Strategy and Insights, Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures is hiring an Executive Assistant, Strategy and Insights, based on the studio lot in Los Angeles. This role supports senior leadership within the theatrical insights department, which conducts audience research across the full lifecycle of a film, from pre-greenlight concept testing through final cut screenings and marketing campaign development. It suits someone who wants genuine exposure to how feature film decisions get made, and who is comfortable splitting their time between executive support and hands-on primary research work.

About the Role

The Strategy and Insights team at Paramount Pictures sits at the intersection of production and marketing, running audience surveys, focus groups, ethnographies, and theatrical screenings that directly inform both the films and the campaigns behind them. On any given day, this person might be coordinating logistics for a research screening, managing calendars across multiple time zones, or helping synthesize consumer feedback that shapes how a movie is positioned before release. It is a full-time, on-site role requiring five days per week on the Paramount Pictures Studio Lot.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage complex scheduling and travel coordination for senior leaders across the global insights and strategy group.
• Support the planning and execution of theatrical screenings, focus groups, and audience research sessions tied to active feature film releases.
• Handle confidential research findings, internal strategy documents, and pre-release materials with appropriate discretion at all times.
• Serve as a primary point of contact between the insights team and internal stakeholders across production, marketing, and creative departments.
• Assist in preparing presentations, research summaries, and audience data reports for senior executives reviewing film and campaign strategy.
• Track department workflows and deliverables to keep research timelines aligned with production and marketing milestones.

What You Bring

• Prior experience as an executive or departmental assistant, ideally within a studio, production company, or research environment.
• Comfort working with audience research methodologies including surveys, screenings, and qualitative consumer studies.
• Strong organizational skills with demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities without losing detail.
• Clear written and verbal communication across all levels, from production assistants to C-suite leadership.
• Genuine interest in film and how audience behavior shapes creative and marketing decisions in theatrical distribution.

The Executive Assistant, Strategy and Insights role offers real proximity to feature film research and studio strategy, not just administrative work at arm’s length from the creative process. For someone entering the insights space, this is a credible first credit with a major studio.
