This role brings financial rigor and strategic insight to a creative, fast-moving digital business.

We’re looking for someone analytical and organized, but equally curious — someone energized by solving new problems in the evolving digital media landscape.

  • Digital Slate Strategy & Valuation - Establish benchmarks, assess monetization dynamics, and develop valuation frameworks that inform digital-first greenlighting decisions and long-term investment strategy. Identify white space opportunities to expand revenue and audience growth across platforms.
  • Scalable Workflows & Reporting – Establish and streamline operational and financial processes, workflows, and automate reporting that drives efficiency and growth across the global network
  • Content Research & Planning – Identify high-potential content and monetization opportunities, recommending distribution strategies that maximize IP value and long-term audience growth across platforms.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in Corporate Strategy, Finance, Operations, Sales Planning, Business Analysis, Research, or similar roles, or 2+ years in Management Consulting
  • 4+ years of financial planning and business-facing reporting experience

Skills & Experience

  • Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and performance analysis capabilities
  • Experience querying and extracting data from large datasets using tools such as BitQuery or similar platforms
  • Working knowledge of SQL or coding (e.g., Python) to manipulate, analyze, and validate datasets
  • Ability to independently source, structure, and interpret raw data to generate actionable insights
  • Advanced PowerPoint skills with the ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear, executive-ready presentations and decision materials
  • Strategic thinker with demonstrated ability to identify risks, opportunities, and white space
  • Strong understanding of digital media and AVOD metrics (e.g., CPMs, ad fill rates, ad loads)
  • High initiative, ownership mindset, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Preferred:

  • Experience with YouTube Analytics / Creator Studio and Facebook Business Manager
  • Knowledge of studio distribution models, digital advertising trends, and the broader digital media landscape
