Coordinator, Strategic Alliance

DreamWorks Animation is looking for more adventurous dreamers who shoot for the moon. We tell stories about the journeys our unconventional heroes take to make dreams come true. As a growth-minded studio, we pride ourselves on being one of the world's leading producers of high-quality, award-winning, animated films and series, reaching consumers around the globe. We push to feel more, laugh more, and build immersive new worlds.

Comcast NBCUniversal has announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company ('SpinCo') comprised of most of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, GolfPass, and SportsEngine. The well-capitalized company will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content. The spin-off is expected to be completed during 2025.

DreamWorks creates a diverse array of original content in a variety of formats, delivering compelling stories with unique characters. We place tremendous value on the experiences our talent brings to the table from their own non-traditional paths to success. We believe in frequent communication and that transparency and trust yield the best work. We are a community of artists, technologists, innovators, and creators, who are passionate about animation and also happen to love eating lunch together. 

DreamWorks Animation partners with world-class technology and entertainment leaders to identify and develop state-of-the-art technological advancements, business and co-branded marketing alliances.

The role and primary responsibility of the Strategic Alliances Coordinator is to support the Strategic Alliance department in the organization, tracking, scheduling, and timely delivery of select alliance engagements and requests originating from DreamWorks Animation and DreamWorks’ technology partners. In addition, the Strategic Alliances Coordinator will provide logistical and administrative support in service of department operations, as well as assist in communicating the history, culture, franchise properties, industry innovations and corporate strategy of DreamWorks Animation to local and global audiences, and partners.
