The Opportunity

This is Minno\'s first embedded analytics hire - and one of the most consequential roles we\'re making as we scale toward becoming the category-defining platform for Christian kids and families.
You will build the analytical backbone of the entire company from the ground up. You\'ll partner directly with the CEO, CFO, CMO, CCO, CTO, and CPO to transform data from across our growing platform into clear, trusted intelligence that drives every major decision - from content investment to marketing spend to platform strategy.
What makes this role different from a typical analytics hire is the way decisions are made here. When you bring a finding to light, it gets acted on. Our CMO wants to be taught, not just served. Our CFO presents analytical models directly to the board. Your work will shape what Minno does, not sit in a reporting system nobody reads.
This role starts as a high-impact individual contributor. As Minno scales, you\'ll have the opportunity to build and lead a small analytics team - this is a foundational role in the company we\'re building, not a seat at the end of a long table.

Why Content Analytics and Children\'s Data Privacy Matter Here

Minno operates at the intersection of three hard problems: content, kids, and subscriptions.

We produce and distribute original children\'s programming across our own streaming platform, YouTube (1.1M+ subscribers), and third-party distribution partners. Understanding which content drives engagement, retention, and long-term subscriber value - not just which content is most expensive to produce - is the central analytical challenge of this business.

Content analytics is the hardest of our three analytical verticals to hire for. Marketing attribution and product analytics are learnable. Content analytics requires intuition built from experience - knowing how to evaluate the value of a piece of content, how to model the relationship between content investment and subscriber behavior, and how to advise a creative team with data they actually trust.

Because our audience is children, every analytical system you build must be designed within the constraints of COPPA (Children\'s Online Privacy Protection Act) and its global equivalents. This isn\'t a checkbox compliance exercise. It shapes what data you can collect, how you can model behavior, how you work with third-party platforms, and how you architect everything from your data warehouse to your reporting layer. If you\'ve navigated children\'s data privacy in a product analytics context before, you know what this means. If you haven\'t, this role will require you to learn it fast - and we\'d rather hire someone who\'s already been through it.

Our Mission and Faith

Minno is a Christian company, and our faith is inseparable from our work. We\'re building a platform to help kids and families experience Jesus every day - and that conviction shapes every product decision, content investment, and hire we make.

We\'re looking for someone who is personally aligned with that mission - not because it\'s a checkbox, but because the work is more meaningful when the mission resonates. You don\'t need to be an expert in Christian media, but you do need to genuinely care about what we\'re building for kids and families and see this role as more than a career move.

What You\'ll Do

• Build and own Minno\'s analytics foundation - ensuring every functional leader has access to accurate, timely, trusted data to drive their decisions
• Deliver content intelligence that guides investment, licensing, and programming decisions across our growing catalog
• Build investor-grade analytics infrastructure that supports Minno\'s next phase of growth and capital strategy
• Own marketing attribution across our direct-to-consumer and third-party distribution channels, giving the CMO and CFO clear visibility into what\'s driving member value
• Drive member lifecycle and behavioral intelligence that informs product prioritization and retention strategy
• Operate as a proactive strategic partner to the executive team - bring insights before they\'re requested and make data central to every major decision
• Lead Minno\'s AI analytics strategy and ensure every new business model and content format is instrumented before it launches

• Direct experience with children\'s data privacy regulations (COPPA, GDPR-K, or equivalent) in a product or analytics context - or deep experience in a regulated data environment where privacy constraints shaped your analytical approach.
• Advanced SQL proficiency - able to independently query and transform data from complex, multi-source environments
• Fluency in Tableau or comparable BI tool - built dashboards from scratch, not just maintained existing ones
• Demonstrated experience building an analytics function or owning analytics end-to-end as the primary analyst in a small or growing company
