• Function as the primary driver and manager of strategic projects at the request of attorneys and other internal business partners, ensuring clear communication of tasks and setting and meeting deadlines.
• Serve as the primary subject matter expert on document and storage management and contract retrieval, leveraging a strong understanding of contracts and key terms in order to accurately organize, classify, and audit documents for internal searchability.
• Manage administration of contract-related resources and collaboration tools, including but not limited to iManage, DocMinder, and physical files and related licenses.
• Draft agreements and notices using templates, as well as disclosure schedules for M&A transactions, in each case with attorney oversight.
• Other duties as assigned.

Required & Preferred:

• 5+ years of experience working directly with broadcast media and/or entertainment contracts (including talent agreements, vendor agreements, and transactional agreements such as purchase agreements) with a strong grasp of standard deal mechanics and terminology.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex transactions and projects, and building or maintaining contract databases and virtual data rooms for transactions and audits.
• Proven ability to critically evaluate, analyze, and synthesize disparate information gathered from cross-functional teams such as Finance, HR, IT, and Programming.
• BA/BS from an accredited college or university, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
