- Turn complex analysis into clear insights and recommendations for senior leadership.
- Partner across Growth & Planning, Marketing, Product, Business Development, Finance, and regional teams to align on SVOD priorities.

- Comfortable working through ambiguity and changing business priorities.
- Exposure to digital subscriptions, consumer technology, media, entertainment, advertising, or e-commerce is a plus.
