  Who we are

  JustWatch Media delivers data-driven digital marketing for the global entertainment industry — from the biggest blockbusters to award-winning shows, major sporting events, and best-selling console games. Not only are we entertainment obsessives ourselves, but we also operate the world's largest streaming guide, providing over 100 million 1st-party data profiles and unparalleled insights into audience behavior and content preferences.

  
  

  Founded in 2014, JustWatch has grown into a global team of over 200 people from 46 nationalities, with offices in Berlin, LA, London, Paris, Rome, Munich, and Dubai. We are truly international, covering all key entertainment markets and languages.

  
  

  Over the past 10 years, JustWatch Media has run more than 20,000 campaigns across YouTube, Meta, and TikTok for 65+ clients — including virtually all major studios and streamers. We’ve supported thousands of movie and TV show releases with hundreds of millions in media budget, with our largest campaigns spanning over 100 markets.

  
  

  This position is based in Los Angeles for client proximity, with full flexibility and no in-office mandate.

  
  

  Who we need

  We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Managing Director to lead and build our US operations from the ground up. Your mission: establish JustWatch Media as the go-to digital media buying partner for studios, streamers, and media agencies across the United States.

  
  

  You’ll take full responsibility for business development, revenue growth, team building, and client relationships, while shaping the strategy and structure of our US entity. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with deep industry roots, sharp commercial instincts, and the drive to scale a proven international business in the epicenter of entertainment.

  
  

  Who we DON’T need

  This is not a role for someone focused solely on strategy, internal processes, or indirect business development. We’re not looking for candidates coming primarily from partnerships, licensing, or content sales. We want someone who thrives in action, is highly commercial, and knows how to build from zero to scale.
