Who we are
At JustWatch (www.justwatch.com), we’ve built the world’s largest entertainment guide for films, series, and sports, used by millions of fans across more than 140 countries. We work with leading studios and streaming platforms to help audiences discover what to watch and to help our partners reach the right viewers at the right moment.
Today, we are taking the next step in expanding our product portfolio. We are moving beyond discovery and marketing into exciting and yet-to-be-announced streaming projects. We are in an early building phase and actively shaping what these products will become together as one team.
What remains unchanged is our strong focus on data, product thinking, and a deep understanding of audience behaviour. What is new is the opportunity to apply this knowledge to the development and growth of a unique streaming project and the content proposition at its core.
Who we need
We are looking for a Junior Coordinator - Content Acquisition to support content licensing and partnership conversations, operations, and processes with our global partners. In this role, you will support and gradually take on responsibility in negotiations, ensure timely follow-ups, track agreements to completion, and help identify new opportunities as our product launch approaches and beyond.
You will work closely with the SVP Global Content Acquisitions and collaborate with different teams across JustWatch, supporting ongoing initiatives, developing new workflows, and coordinating across stakeholders. As this project is still in an early stage, the role requires strong organisational skills, attention to detail, a genuine interest in the media industry, a passion for film and TV, and the ability to manage multiple topics in parallel, both in person and digitally.

- Research competitor offerings, market trends, and opportunities to improve internal processes, tools, and systems.
- Lead the onboarding and delivery processes post-deal closure with all our content partners, then ensure timely reporting and replies to queries.
- Track and evaluate potential content opportunities with new and existing partners, considering market dynamics, seasonality, and cultural trends.
What we need from you

- Ability to analyse data and derive actionable insights, with confidence working in Excel or Google Sheets and larger data sets.
