  • Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and customer insight work to identify emerging trends and growth opportunities.
  • Build financial models, business cases, and scenario analyses to support investment decisions and strategic planning.
  • Analyze internal and external data to uncover opportunities, measure performance, and inform executive decision-making.
  • Partner with leaders across editorial, product, engineering, marketing, finance, and commercial teams to advance key initiatives.
  • Prepare executive-ready presentations, memos, and recommendations for senior leadership.
  • Help drive strategic projects from initial concept through execution, adapting as business priorities evolve.
What We're Looking For
  • Experienced in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, corporate development, investment banking, business operations, or a related field.
  • Strong analytical, financial modeling, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent research capabilities and the ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations.
  • Comfort working with ambiguity and independently driving projects forward.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing materials for senior executives.
  • Knowledge or experience about digital media and evolving consumer behavior.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent experience is a plus.
Preferred Experience
  • Experience in digital media, consumer subscriptions, marketplaces, or platform businesses.
  • Familiarity with partnership strategy, business development, M&A, or commercial negotiations.
  • Experience using data and analytics to inform strategic decisions.
