Job Description

We’re hiring a Head of Global Distribution & Syndication to build the next major growth engine at Origin Media Network.


We’ve built a large, fast-growing library of premium long-form content on YouTube. Now we want to take that content everywhere else.


FAST, CTV, Streaming, Licensing, Localization - you get the picture.


We’re looking for someone who has done this before and already knows the people to call.


What You’ll Lead:

  • Build our distribution strategy outside YouTube
  • Develop partnerships with streaming platforms, FAST services, publishers, broadcasters, and distributors
  • Negotiate licensing and distribution deals
  • Launch FAST and CTV channels
  • Turn our existing library into new formats, packages, and revenue streams
  • Expand our content internationally through licensing and localization
  • Build systems to maximize the lifetime revenue of every piece of content we produce
  • Build the distribution team as the business scales


Who We’re Looking For:

  • 8+ years of experience in digital media distribution, streaming, FAST, TV licensing, syndication, or platform partnerships
  • Existing relationships with decision-makers at major streaming platforms, FAST services, publishers, broadcasters, and distributors
  • Personally negotiated meaningful content licensing or distribution deals
  • Deep understanding of FAST, AVOD, SVOD, CTV, content windowing, licensing, and international distribution
  • Strong commercial instincts and comfortable owning negotiations
  • Equally comfortable with strategy and actually getting things launched
  • High agency and excited to build a function from the ground up


This is not a social media management role.


We don’t need someone to research how to get our content onto major platforms.


We want someone who already knows who to call, what the deal should look like, and how to get it launched.
