You’ll lead a talented team focused on uncovering trends in audience behavior, content performance, platform engagement, and revenue drivers across our digital and linear ecosystems.

• Define and track core marketplace health metrics, flagging risks and surfacing opportunities for optimization.
• Develop predictive models to guide strategic planning, market expansion, and performance forecasting.

• Expertise in advanced analytics techniques (forecasting, regression, clustering, A/B testing) and tools (SQL, Python/R, Tableau, etc.).
• Self-starter and strategic thinker with a consultative approach — capable of identifying opportunities, framing the problem, and driving toward solutions with minimal direction.
• Strong business acumen and comfort engaging with executive stakeholders across diverse business domains.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to distill complex analysis into clear, persuasive insights.
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in a quantitative or business field (e.g., Economics, Data Science, Statistics, Engineering, MBA).
