- Strong data analysis and reporting skills, able to translate complex data into clear insights.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with experience presenting findings to cross-functional teams.
Preferred Background:
- Experience working in media, entertainment, video content, or related digital platforms.
- Familiarity with video metadata, content curation workflows, or media production environments.
- A passion for movies, TV, sports, or fitness content is a plus!
