About the role

Paramount is seeking a Senior Counsel to join the Law Department, supporting the U.S. Distribution group. You will draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of distribution agreements across linear, VOD and streaming platforms, and guide more junior attorneys in complex negotiations. The role demands deep contract and corporate law knowledge, the ability to distill information for clients, and strong leadership in a fast-paced environment, with collaboration across USD and Paramount executives.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
