About Wonder Project

Wonder Project is a transformative entertainment brand producing and curating premium movies and TV series for the global faith and values audience. We understand the profound impact that entertainment has on our lives and on culture itself. Our purpose is to tell stories that restore faith in things worth believing in—stories that bring audiences together and endure for generations. Guided by the principles of courage, collaboration, excellence and service, we strive to see the world through different perspectives, recognizing that empathy fosters understanding and unity.

We're looking for motivated team members who are passionate about their craft and hungry to make a meaningful impact through their work. We're building something new in entertainment, and that requires creativity, curiosity, kindness and a bias towards action. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment where every contribution matters and you're energized by the opportunity to shape culture through storytelling, you'll fit right in. We welcome you to join us on this journey as we build an entertainment brand committed to restoring faith in things worth believing in.

This role offers direct exposure to how content decisions get made, from acquisitions strategy and deal structuring to creative evaluation, experience that typically takes years to access in more siloed entry-level roles. You'll work alongside Legal, Finance, Commercial, and Programming leadership, building a working knowledge of licensing, rights, and deal economics while developing your own voice as a creative evaluator through screening and coverage work. For someone aiming toward a career in acquisitions, business affairs, or creative development, this coordinator seat is designed as a launching point rather than a long-term holding pattern.

Note: This is a hybrid role based in Beverly Hills, CA with an in-office expectation of 2-3 times per week and is subject to change based on business needs
