Senior Vice President, Content & Acquisitions

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

FOX Entertainment

With a legacy spanning more than 35 years, FOX Entertainment is one of the world’s most recognizable media brands and a prolific content producer across its iconic broadcast network and both owned and third-party streaming platforms. Known for its independent, innovative spirit and provocative, groundbreaking storytelling, the company was reinvented in 2019 with the formation of FOX Entertainment. While maintaining its leadership in broadcast television (9-1-1: Lone Star, The Simpsons, The Cleaning Lady, Hell’s Kitchen, LEGO Masters), the company is actively building a portfolio of businesses and library of owned original content. To date, FOX Entertainment’s long-term growth strategy has included the acquisitions of award-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment (Bob’s Burgers, The Great North, Krapopolis, Grimsburg), entertainment platform TMZ, and global production studio MarVista Entertainment (The Way Home, Rescuing Christmas), as well as the formation of the culinary and lifestyle content venture Studio Ramsay Global (Next Level Chef, Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars) in partnership with Gordon Ramsay. The company also established its in-house unscripted studio FOX Alternative Entertainment (The Masked Singer, Snake Oil, I Can See Your Voice, Name That Tune), FOX Entertainment Studios (Animal Control) to develop scripted content, and worldwide content sales unit FOX Entertainment Global.

JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX Entertainment Global is entering an exciting phase of growth and creative expansion. To support this trajectory, the organization is seeking a seasoned and visionary Senior Vice President, Content & Acquisitions to lead the sourcing, evaluation, and negotiation of world-class content across all formats—scripted, unscripted, formats, and film—for global distribution.

This executive will be responsible for identifying content that aligns with FOX’s commercial goals, brand voice, and distribution strategy across a rapidly evolving landscape of platforms, windows, and audience behaviors. The role is equal parts creative, strategist, operational architect, and dealmaker, and will be central to how FOX Entertainment Global builds and curates its global catalog in the years ahead.

This is not a passive acquisition role. The SVP will play a leading role in shaping the editorial and financial direction of the business—partnering closely with internal FOX divisions (Tubi, FOX Network, FOX Entertainment Studios, etc) to secure pipeline visibility and maximize the group’s leverage. Simultaneously, the role requires active engagement with the external marketplace to forge new partnerships, pursue co-productions, secure rights, and identify content that has both local impact and international reach.

This individual will also be responsible for building a best-in-class acquisitions infrastructure—managing a high-performing team and establishing workflows for rights tracking, pipeline reporting, deal execution, and financial oversight.

Reporting directly to the President of FOX Entertainment Global, this role will be a key part of the senior leadership team, and hence, a high-impact position for a commercially-minded content executive with deep industry relationships, a strategic mindset, and the ability to marry editorial instinct with market insight.
