About Night

Night is a next-generation media company redefining talent representation for the creator economy. Managing over 200 top creators across YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch, Night operates at the intersection of entertainment, entrepreneurship, and digital innovation. Through talent management, a venture studio, a licensing division, and a podcast network, Night empowers creators to build lasting global brands.

About the Role

As Director of Content Licensing, you’ll lead Night’s expansion into AVOD and FAST streaming — helping creators turn their content libraries into scalable, monetizable IP. You’ll build partnerships with top platforms, negotiate high-value distribution deals, and design the roadmap for how creator content reaches audiences beyond YouTube.

This is a senior role for someone who knows both the business and creative sides of digital media — part dealmaker, part strategist, and part champion for the new wave of creator-owned entertainment.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and close licensing deals with AVOD & FAST partners (Roku, Pluto TV, Tubi, Samsung TV Plus, etc.)

• Develop and execute the strategy to extend creator IP beyond YouTube and social video.

• Negotiate favorable deal structures while protecting creator rights and maximizing monetization.

• Collaborate with creators, legal, brand, and finance teams to package content for distribution.

• Advise creators on optimizing video formats for episodic or syndicated environments.

• Build long-term relationships with content buyers and platform executives.

• Track deal performance, analyze revenue, and report key metrics across licensing partners.

• Stay ahead of market shifts, emerging platforms, and digital-first content opportunities.

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of experience in content licensing, distribution, or partnerships in digital media or entertainment.

• Deep understanding of AVOD and FAST ecosystems, deal structures, and monetization models.

• Strong familiarity with YouTube creators and digital-native IP.

• Excellent negotiation, relationship management, and analytical skills.

• Proven success sourcing and closing multi-platform licensing deals.

• Strategic thinker with the ability to operate tactically in high-velocity environments.

• Passion for creator-led storytelling and emerging media formats.

• MBA or prior IP / rights management experience is a plus.

Why Join Night

You’ll be shaping how digital creators break into mainstream entertainment. Every deal you close expands what’s possible for the creator economy — helping individual voices become global brands.
