Manager, Content Acquisition

About the Role: Tubi is seeking an experienced, deal-driven content executive to join our Content Acquisitions & Partnerships team as Manager, Content Acquisition. This role will focus on building out Tubi’s portfolio of creator, podcast, and other emerging content-format partnerships by identifying and closing licensing agreements that bring fresh, engaging content to our platform. Reporting to the Director of Content Acquisitions & Partnerships, you will own deals from conceptualization through execution, working hand in hand with Creator Partnerships and Legal teams to structure and finalize agreements. The ideal candidate is a relationship-builder with real deal-making chops: someone who understands the streaming and creator economy landscape, is comfortable negotiating commercial terms, and knows how to get a contract across the finish line. This is a hybrid role based out of our Los Angeles, CA office (3-4 days/week.) What You'll Do: Identify, source, and evaluate new content opportunities with creators, podcast networks, and other Creator-economy and emerging-format partners. Structure, negotiate, and close content licensing and acquisition deals that align with Tubi’s content strategy and business objectives. Serve as the primary deal lead on opportunities sourced by Creator Partnerships, partnering with them on prioritization and deal strategy, and with Legal on drafting, negotiating, and finalizing licensing agreements. Own the end-to-end deal lifecycle from negotiation to contract execution and content onboarding/delivery. Use performance data and audience insights to inform content licensing, deal economics, and investment decisions. Collaborate cross-functionally with Creator Partnerships, Legal, Content Operations, Marketing, and Finance to ensure smooth handoffs from deal signing through launch. Track and manage deal pipelines, licensing terms, and key milestones, keeping internal stakeholders aligned on status and next steps. Monitor trends in the creator economy, podcasting, and new content formats to proactively identify emerging opportunities. Support ongoing business reviews with Creator Partnerships, Content Insights and Business Operations teams to develop the performance of Creator and podcast partnerships. Your Background: 5+ years of experience in content licensing, acquisitions, business development, or partnerships at a studio, agency, talent/Creator management company, podcast network, or streaming/digital media platform. Demonstrated experience negotiating and closing content licensing or talent deals, including structuring deal terms and working directly with Legal to finalize contracts. Established relationships within the Creator economy, podcast industry, and/or talent agencies and management companies. Solid understanding of content licensing structures, rights, and deal economics (e.g., revenue share, licensing fees, minimum guarantees). Comfort operating in a fast-evolving space and building deal structures for new and emerging content formats. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to represent Tubi externally and build trust with creators and partners. Strong analytical skills; able to use data and performance metrics to inform deal-making and content strategy. Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple deals and projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. You're equally comfortable driving deals forward independently and partnering closely with Legal, Creator Partnerships, and other cross-functional teams to reach aligned outcomes. Bachelor’s degree required; JD or MBA a plus. #LI-SY1 #LI-Hybrid Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is listed annually below.
