MBA Intern, Paramount Pictures Strategy and Insights (Summer 2026 - In Person, LA)

#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?
We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

 

Unlike many other departments at a movie studio, Paramount Pictures Strategy and Insights team spans the entire movie lifecycle. This team aims to be the voice of the consumer and keep the consumer at the heart of the studio's decision-making. Our insights-driven work spans everything from understanding the DNA of a brand before it is developed into a movie, to immersing production in a fanbase, to testing and optimizing the movie itself, to making sure marketing materials truly speak to and excite consumers. Across each phase of a movie's lifecycle, the team conducts custom quantitative and qualitative studies that can help the studio meet its business goals and objectives.

 

We're seeking candidates who love understanding people and who are natural problem-solvers driven by finding solutions. While anyone in research needs to be comfortable with data and highly analytical, we also need to have great communicators who love telling stories from the insights. We are looking for people with a hunger for understanding consumer behaviors, understanding market trends, and an appetite for content and marketing. If you're someone who doesn't just ask what people are saying but tries to uncover why, then you belong on the Strategy and Insights team!

 

Key Internship Responsibilities:

• Synthesize large amounts of quantitative data, telling a story based on the insights and succinctly summarizing the results for stakeholders across the studio
• Research and design custom landscape and brand DNA studies to help inform production and marketing understanding of upcoming or post-released IP-driven movies
• Attend and contribute to analysis from screenings and focus groups, building a strong skillset in qualitative analysis
• Assess and synthesize findings on market and genre trends in the film industry

 

Qualifications:

• A great communicator, a team player, and someone with a deep passion for film. Should also have comfort with synthesizing both qualitative and quantitative information.

• Strong PC skills: Excel, PowerPoint. Data visualization skills (Tableau) or additional statistics platforms (SPSS) preferred.

 

Exciting perks tailored just for you!

• Speaker series with industry experts
• Unique networking opportunities & social events
• Complimentary Paramount+ subscription during your internship
• 1:1 mentorship, volunteer opportunities, on-the-job learning and so much more!
