• 5+ years of relevant experience, MBA from top-tier institution preferred.
• Prior management consulting experience or corporate strategy experience preferred.
• Problem Solver: ability to turn strategic questions with limited data into actionable solutions; must be able to evaluate at a 10k foot view but understand the nuanced detail behind drivers.

• Skilled Visual Communicator: can paint a story through building clear and concise decks that synthesize complex information for an executive audience.

• Highly Organized Project Manager: experienced in prioritizing and managing multiple cross-functional projects at once, supporting initiatives from start to finish.
• Data Analysis: ability to find and analyze data, translating information into strategic recommendations to aid in decision making.
• Strong attention to detail and passion for accuracy: projects shared directly with Exec Leaders, so ability to create a thoroughly reviewed, executive level deliverable is a must.
• Cross-Functional Partner: cross-functional engagement with other areas of the business (Marketing, Product, Sales, HR, etc.) is a key element of this role; the candidate will need to build strong relationships to ensure problems and deliverables are prioritized.
• Experience leading projects required.
• Video industry experience a plus.
