  • Use competitive research, financial models, and data analysis to suggest strategic directions.

  • Experience working in digital media and/or subscription businesses is a plus; familiarity with premium tiers or add-on products is especially valuable.
  • Deep knowledge of investing and the financial markets.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence and lead cross-functional partners without direct authority.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using data to drive decisions and build business cases.
  • Team oriented and collaborative with eagerness to help others.
  • Aspiration to be challenged and learn.
