Overview: We are the Global Marketing Analytics team, part of the Paramount Streaming, Data & Insights Group (DIG) team. DIG is a key connector among the Paramount Streaming verticals. The group includes subject matter experts that prototype, build, and scale data infrastructure and products. Additionally, they assess, aggregate, and analyze data while also creating narratives and insights from both qualitative and quantitative data. This work supports stakeholders by helping them make decisions, understand performance, and generate business recommendations. The Marketing Analytics team provides actionable, data-driven solutions to solve marketing challenges. We work closely with Media Strategy, Media Activation, Data Science, and Product teams to drive Paramount Streaming business growth and retention.

The Senior Analyst will help the Streaming marketing team with different initiatives. The main goals are to run experiments, measure results, and improve paid media and owned & operated (O&O) channels by using models. The role requires turning data into clear insights and recommendations. This includes using media mix modeling, cross-platform attribution tools, incrementality testing, and other advanced analytics methods. You will design and measure lift and incrementality tests to validate optimization approaches. This includes detailed analysis of media performance - the goal is to understand how model-driven optimization outperforms basic buying strategies. We will also measure the additional value provided. You will also work with the Digital O&O Promo teams. Your job will be to turn predictive models into execution frameworks and will define measurement strategies. These strategies will connect promo involvement to longer-term results, and these results include content consumption, session depth, retention, and reducing churn. A critical component of this role will be surfacing insights on when and where personalization drives diminishing returns to inform model iteration, promo strategy, and resource allocation decisions. The ability to interpret complex data and provide relevant business context to explain marketing performance and optimization impact will be key to success in this role. The ideal candidate will have good communication skills. They should be curious and detail oriented. An interest in media is important. Experience in improving marketing efficiency, testing new ideas, and using advanced measurement frameworks is also required.

• Conduct detailed analyses on media performance. Identify where model-driven optimization performs better than baseline buying strategies. Measure the additional impact.
• Translate predictive and targeting models into actionable strategies for Digital O&O Promo placements.
• Define and implement measurement frameworks. These frameworks will connect promo involvement to results. These results include content starts, session depth, retention, and reducing churn.
• Analyze marketing and attribution data, which helps measure the return on marketing investments. You will also optimize how budgets are allocated. Additionally, provide recommendations for different channels and partners.
• Use analyses across platforms, experimentation, and outputs from media mix models. Identify and explain the limits of personalization and targeting strategies. Know when these strategies stop being effective. Use this knowledge to enhance models and update promotional strategies.
