Collaborate across disciplines to understand business requirements, harmonize data from disparate systems, and create ready-to-use datasets that enable reporting, advanced analytics, and decision-making.
•
“One Team” Mindset: Contribute to a high-performance team, collaborating openly with peers to create a team culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

•
Familiarity with business entities, metrics, and datasets common to a television production and distribution studio, including content and title metadata, audience measurement, ratings, and content performance data, talent, production, licensing, and distribution datasets. Experience working with industry data providers such as IMDb, Gracenote, Luminate, Nielsen, or similar sources is highly desirable.
•
Advanced SQL and Python skills. Experience building transformation pipelines in dbt is strongly preferred.
•
Proficiency with modern cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, GCP/BigQuery, AWS/Redshift) and with pipeline orchestration tools.
•
Familiarity with CI/CD workflows, version control, and automated testing frameworks to meet data quality standards.
