    Who We Are:

    Endeavor is a global sports and entertainment company, home to many of the world’s most dynamic and engaging storytellers, brands, live events, and experiences. The Endeavor network specializes in talent representation through entertainment agency WME; sports operations and advisory, event management, media production and distribution, and brand licensing through IMG; live event experiences and hospitality through On Location; full-service marketing through global cultural marketing agency 160over90; and sports data and technology through IMG ARENA and OpenBet. Endeavor is also the majority owner of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), a premium sports and entertainment company comprising UFC and WWE.

    Endeavor is seeking an assistant to the Head of BA for Non-Scripted TV and Digitalat WME, a global talent agency.

The ideal candidate has a demonstrated interest in the music, TV, and/or motion picture business, including in the operations of a business affairs department, some familiarity with entertainment contracts, and an insatiable desire to learn more.

    The job includes basic administrative assistant work (rolling calls, maintaining calendars, tracking projects, and preparing and maintaining client files) - but the right candidate also will be open to assisting with substantive work under the direction of the executives they report to. Exact scope of responsibility will depend on the candidate’s experience and demonstrated capabilities. This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in learning about business affairs at a major agency.

    Duties will include:

    • Being tuned in and present on all phone calls as requested
    • Tracking and coordinating emails and deal negotiations
    • Reviewing agreements and deal terms with an eye toward learning the business
    • Research tasks, including deal precedent and guild requirements
    • Basic administrative duties

    Qualifications:

    • Bachelor’s degree
    • Demonstrated interest in music/entertainment business and legal affairs
    • Comfortable in a fast-paced environment
    • Ability to multitask and handle workflow from two executives simultaneously
    • Responsiveness in communication and attention to detail
    • A flexible personality and positive attitude
    • Strong organizational skills
    • Professionalism and ability to maintain confidentiality
    • 1 year of professional experience preferred, ideally including contract and/or music/entertainment experience
