About Filmhub 🎬

Filmhub is a global, all rights, film & TV distributor. Leveraging decades of industry expertise and a legacy of billions of dollars in global box office, we distribute unlimited opportunity to the storytellers, creatives, and makers who drive our industry.

Filmhub was founded by world-renowned composer and producer Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator) and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Alan d’Escragnolle (Square, Intuit) and funded by the top investors in tech & entertainment, including NextEquity Partners, a16z & 8VC.

Pairing a global network of strategic relationships with cutting-edge technology, we represent the industry’s leaders, from producers of global blockbusters to Oscar legends, festival darlings, cinema auteurs, and indie heroes.

What's the opportunity? 🤔

Filmhub is transforming how films reach audiences around the world. We’re not a distributor in the traditional sense—we’re a platform that empowers rights holders: filmmakers, distributors, and catalog owners who deserve more access, transparency, and control over their work. We reject "that’s the way it is" thinking and build systems that put creatives & rights holders first. We’re scaling fast—thoughtfully and with purpose.

We’re hiring a Head of Operations to help run the company. You’ll lead the teams that power Filmhub’s execution engine: Channel Ops (think product operations), Sales Ops, Biz Ops, People Ops, and Finance/Accounting. You'll drive structured, high-quality outcomes in a remote-first environment designed to support deep work, thoughtful communication, and radical transparency.

This is a COO level leadership role for someone who thrives in complexity, lives in the details, and has a bias for action—while deeply valuing culture, systems thinking, automation, community, and long-term sustainability.

What big questions will I answer? 💡

• How do we set the standard and scale operational excellence without sacrificing speed? Are our teams structured and resourced to hit their goals?

• We serve multiple types of rights holders and contracts. Are we focused on the correct segments that help us maintain our strong growth rate?

• Our sales team is going from 10 to 25+ in the next 2 years - how do we ensure they have the systems and tools in place to make ensure they are hitting goals?

• Our team is growing from 50 to 100+ - how do we maintain our culture of transparency and openness as we rapidly train new leadership?

What will I be doing? 🚀

• Be a key strategic partner to the CEO, helping prioritize and execute across initiatives.

• Build out our sales & biz ops functions and infrastructure to help our sales team scale effectively and drive revenue faster.

• Drive our planning (Bi-Monthly & Annual plans)—we go slow to go fast and always think downstream. Ensure we have the data and information to make sure we’re focused on the right thing.

• Lead and manage cross-functional teams across Channel Ops (product operations), Sales Ops, Biz Ops, People Ops, and Finance/Accounting

• Champion and grow our remote-first culture by building intentional rituals, async workflows, and human connection (quarterly meetups, personal check-ins, book & film clubs, and more)

• Build and own our company-wide hiring strategy, helping scale a team of high performers who lead without needing constant supervision

• Uphold a culture of transparency, ownership, open conflict and direct feedback to continuously raise our collective game

• Protect our focus: fewer meetings, more uninterrupted maker time

What skills do I need? 📖

• 10+ years in operational leadership roles, ideally including COO or Head of Ops at a startup

• Excellent “People Management”. You understand what is “servant leadership” but also aren’t afraid to hop in and do as needed. You know how to set the standard of excellence.

• Experience designing hiring strategies and organizational structure across multiple geographies.

• Systems thinker who writes things down and builds for clarity and repeatability

• Operationally fluent: you know how to build workflows, manage tooling, and measure performance

How can I stand out? 📣

• You’ve helped scale a startup through messy growth and know what "building the plane while flying it" really means

• You’re known for your clarity: of thought, communication, and execution

• You’ve built products or companies that serve creators, and you understand their needs and motivations

• Bonus: experience in media, film distribution, marketplaces, or creator-focused platforms
