Video Content Merchandiser - IMDB

This is a Full Time Job

You're the world's best headline-writer, and you want to show off. We're the world's most popular entertainment site, and we can help with that.

The IMDb Editorial team is seeking a video content merchandiser to inform and execute our strategy for driving engagement and viewership of IMDb video content on our site and apps. Our ideal candidate has a knack for words and a solid sense of how and why people in all demographics consume video. You should know how to write a good headline, how to ensure people actually see it, and how to present data about it.

The IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. The IMDb consumer site is the No. 1 movie website in the world with a combined web and mobile audience of more than 200 million unique monthly visitors.

You will also have the opportunity to promote and attend key events such as San Diego Comic-Con, the Emmys, the Oscars, and the Sundance Film Festival. There's a small chance you'll meet someone famous. There's a 100% chance you'll develop content about one.
