The position involves team supervision, strategy execution, operational oversight, and alumni engagement, along with employee benefits, periodic travel, and occasional evening and weekend commitments.

Who can apply

Applicants should have professional experience in or alongside the entertainment industry, understanding how projects move from development through production. Candidates must have a strong record of managing teams, supporting experienced professionals, and coordinating complex projects involving multiple stakeholders.

Ideal applicants demonstrate the ability to translate broad strategic priorities into clear objectives, build systems that improve planning and accountability, and work closely with senior executives. Candidates are also expected to show a commitment to reducing societal division and supporting storytelling that promotes authenticity, dignity, and understanding across differences.

Requirements

The role requires candidates to manage team operations for roughly 50 percent of the time by supervising three experienced leaders, holding regular meetings, establishing accountability practices, and supporting collaboration. Approximately 30 percent of the work involves translating strategies into workplans, overseeing systems for tracking progress, and collaborating with the development team to document outcomes for funders.

The remaining 20 percent of the work focuses on strengthening relationships with the alumni network across the entertainment industry by developing engagement systems and collaboration opportunities. Applicants based outside of Los Angeles must be prepared for periodic travel to Los Angeles and occasional travel elsewhere, as well as availability for selected evening events scheduled according to Pacific Time.
