Associate Director, Media & Entertainment

Los Angeles, CA
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    At Marketcast, we believe in the power of fandom. Whether you’re a gaming company creating your next must-play game, a studio developing the next blockbuster, a streamer changing the game, or a beverage brand seeking to disrupt the grocery aisle, we deliver data-driven research and insights to move the needle.

    As a truly full-service agency - research, insights, tracking, social, data science, and more - we are perfectly positioned to solve unique (and fascinating) business challenges. We’re looking for passionate, curious, hungry people to join the team and help change the world - one research question at a time.

    WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

    • At least 5 years’ experience in custom quantitative research

    • Proven strength in all areas of quant practice from survey design to data analysis, able to tell the story with actionable outcomes. We’d expect you to be great in all aspects of questionnaire design, analysis planning, and reporting/story telling.

    • Someone who is passionate about movies and series - we work with the biggest entertainment clients in the world! - and experience to back that up.

    • Someone who is comfortable and confident thinking strategically, articulating and guiding others in uncovering consumer insights, and translating them into actionable outcomes for our entertainment clients.

    • Comfort with owning the day-to-day management of multiple projects simultaneously, developing and managing project workplans and ensuring timely completion of tasks within project deadlines.

    • Ability to manage project team members (including direct reports), assigning roles and responsibilities, monitoring work progress, and providing guidance where needed.

    • Experience with mentoring junior team members, including goal setting, skills tutorials, side by side writing, project management, etc.

    • Clear communication skills: you’ll need to be transparent and proactive in keeping internal and external stakeholders abreast of project progress.

    • Professional maturity in surfacing any issues (e.g., moving quickly, with solutions) and recognizing when to escalate situations or ask for help.

    IT’LL BE HELPFUL IF YOU HAVE:

    • Custom / ad hoc research specifically in the Media and Entertainment space - though we’re open to folks with experience in other categories, as long as you’re ready to jump into Media and Entertainment with both feet!

    • Experience with hybrid qualitative-quantitative research and ability to effectively integrate the two in reporting; if you’re a hybrid and can handle both disciplines equally well, all the better!

    • Minimum Bachelor’s degree in the Social Sciences, Economics, Marketing, Statistics, or related fields.

    BENEFITS AND PERKS:

    • Medical, Dental, Vision

    • 401(k) with company match

    • Freedom Leave

    • Wellness plan and events

    • Professional Growth

    • And, more..

    OUR PURPOSE:

    Fandom connects people with shared passions and builds communities around them. It offers them space to express their joy and love, whether that’s for superheroes, sports teams, or even small-batch whiskeys. At MarketCast, we believe in the power of fandom. It’s as important for brands as it is for action heroes and we do fandom research, data science, and analytics better than anyone on the planet. This obsessive focus on fans helps the world’s top creators, media platforms, and sports leagues transform followers into fanatics and investments into impact.

    OUR VALUES:

    CURIOSITY MAKES US TICK

    Our love of learning manifests in everything we do - from the surveys we field and the datasets we analyze to the technology we develop. Where others pause, we push forward, uncovering hidden meaning and answers. Always learning, always looking for more.

    WE CELEBRATE WINS

    Whether its wowing clients with research or solving everyday challenges, we pause to honor great work and everyone who plays a role in it. We acknowledge and recognize great work and hustle that helps deliver the very best outcomes.

    TRUST IS ALWAYS TRENDING

    Trust means everything to us. It’s lending a hand when deadlines loom, always delivering on the promises we make, and calling out behavior that harms our culture. And our client’s trust is what makes all this possible, something we never take for granted.

    WE ROLL WITH CHANGE

    We embrace change as an opportunity to learn, grow, and further develop. We do this by challenging our biases and rethinking how things have always been done in the past. This fresh, open-minded approach keeps us agile, innovating, and adapting in the face of uncertainty.

    DIVERSITY IS OUR SUPERPOWER

    Our differences make us stronger. As researchers and data scientists, we have a responsibility to reflect the diverse audiences and communities all around us. Understanding people, opinions and life experiences fuels our insights and deepens our perspectives.

    At MarketCast, we don't just accept difference - we embrace it, support it, and thrive on it for the benefit of our global culture and success. MarketCast is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
