Overview
Sony Pictures Entertainment is seeking a top-tier acquisitions executive to drive sourcing, evaluation, and deal execution for its Worldwide Acquisitions business. This role sits at the center of the global film marketplace, responsible for identifying and securing high-potential feature film opportunities ahead of the competition.
The Vice President is expected to operate with urgency, conviction, and a clearly defined point of view—combining elevated creative taste with disciplined commercial judgment.

Projects will span a range of genres and budget levels and be distributed across Sony Pictures’ labels, including Columbia Pictures, Screen Gems, TriStar Pictures, Stage 6 Films, Sony Pictures Classics, and global ancillary platforms. The mandate is to deliver a consistent flow of high-quality films that are both market-driven and culturally relevant.
The environment is fast-paced, competitive, and performance-driven. Success is measured by the quality, conviction, and outcomes of the opportunities sourced and executed.

Demonstrated ability to originate, champion, and close high-quality projects or talent
Strong creative instincts combined with rigorous commercial judgment
Deep understanding of global film markets, audience behavior, and the competitive landscape
Established network across filmmakers, agents, managers, producers, and financiers
