Do you love series and movies and want to be part of the team bringing incredible stories to audiences across Latin America? We're looking for a Legal Assistant to join our LatAm Legal team at Amazon MGM Studios. You'll play a key role supporting attorneys who work on content development, production, and licensing - helping bring titles like Mentiras (Mexico), Menem (Argentina), Tremembé (Brazil), and La Casa de los Espiritus (Chile) to life on Prime Video. If you're organized, resourceful, and energized by working at the intersection of law and entertainment, we'd love to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
- Provide administrative and organizational support to the LatAm Legal team, including calendar management, meeting coordination across time zones, and follow-up on action items.
- Support the contract lifecycle using Contract Central, DocuSign, and other internal tools - from intake and routing to tracking execution status and coordinating signatures.
- Assist attorneys with the preparation and review of legal documents, templates, and agreements, and coordinate with outside counsel on drafting, revisions, and production-related notes (scripts, cuts, and feedback).
- Maintain and improve legal team resources such as trackers, SharePoint sites, playbooks, and standard operating procedures.
- Support outside counsel management, including onboarding, invoice review, billing inquiries, budget tracking, and matter creation.
A day in the life
Your mornings might start by checking in with outside counsel in Bogota on the latest draft of a production agreement, then jumping into Contract Central to route a writer deal for signature. By midday, you could be reviewing script clearance notes alongside an attorney, flagging potential issues before a project moves to the next stage. In the afternoon, you might update the team's deal tracker, coordinate a cross-border meeting between attorneys in Miami and Mexico City, or help onboard a new law firm into our systems.
No two days look the same - and that's what makes this role exciting. You'll be at the center of a fast-moving team that brings original stories from Latin America to a global audience on Prime Video. Beyond the day-to-day, you'll have the opportunity to shape how the team works by improving processes, building new tools, and finding creative ways to keep things running smoothly as we grow.
