Responsibilities:

• Lead and support end-to-end business cases for consumer packaging and pricing initiatives for a streaming video platform.
• Evaluate packaging strategies by framing hypotheses, sizing market opportunities, assessing cannibalization risk, and recommending low-investment pilot programs before full implementation.
• Own recurring Add/Drop content decisions by analyzing network and programming performance, subscriber engagement, content costs, churn risk, and competitive positioning.
• Translate programming and carriage economics into clear consumer packaging recommendations.
• Analyze and interpret quantitative research, including:
• Market sizing
• Competitive pricing analysis
• Customer surveys
• User experience insights
• Call center feedback
• Churn and subscriber analytics
• Transform complex analytical findings into executive-ready recommendations and compelling presentations.
• Challenge business assumptions and evaluate alternative perspectives to strengthen strategic recommendations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders including Product, Finance, Programming, Marketing, Analytics, and Leadership teams.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Marketing, Economics, Data Analytics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience within the pay TV, streaming, telecommunications, or media industry.
• Strong understanding of consumer packaging, subscription pricing, and content strategy.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including:
• Financial modeling
• Market sizing
• Pricing scenarios
• Sensitivity analysis
• SQL proficiency with the ability to independently query, validate, and analyze data.
• Experience using Tableau, Power BI, or similar visualization platforms.
• Strong analytical skills with experience interpreting survey data, customer insights, segmentation, and operational metrics.
• Excellent PowerPoint presentation skills with the ability to communicate complex analyses to executive audiences.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with proven storytelling abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while working independently in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using Databricks or lakehouse environments.
• Exposure to AI tools, LLMs, or workflow automation for competitive intelligence or market monitoring.
• Working knowledge of Python or R for data analysis.
• Experience with subscriber analytics, churn modeling, or media measurement platforms such as Nielsen or Comscore.
• Understanding of A/B testing, experimentation, and in-market test design.

Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate is naturally curious, highly analytical, and comfortable balancing quantitative analysis with strategic business judgment. They understand how streaming businesses grow subscribers, optimize packaging, and make content investment decisions. They can confidently challenge assumptions, defend recommendations with data, and communicate complex concepts to executive stakeholders.

If you're passionate about shaping the future of consumer streaming experiences through data-driven strategy, we'd love to hear from you.
