This role requires a high level of collaboration with partners across WBD – the right person for this role is the kind of person who obsesses over details, thrives in ambiguity, and jumps at the opportunity to take on new challenges. The Director position will play a key role in supporting relationships across teams and delivering high quality work in one of the highest priority business initiatives at Warner Bros Discovery.

• Lead development of frameworks and analyses for assessing key strategic questions facing the business, including such areas as:

• Develop and implement benchmarking systems and processes to support analyses and recommendations
• Collaborate with other teams, especially Data & Analytics, Finance, Research, and Business Intelligence, to build the tools and processes necessary to drive strategy and analysis initiatives
• Support Content and other DTC teams in understanding current performance on the platform, connecting content insights to business opportunity
• Maintain an in-depth knowledge of industry trends and competitive activity
• Provide support for senior management, including strategy reviews, board presentations, and other leadership meetings
• Lead a team of high-performing Associates / Managers

Qualifications & Experience…
• Extensive work experience with proven experience in Consulting, Investment Banking, and/or Corporate Strategy and additional experience in the media and entertainment and/or direct-to-consumer space
• Excellent analytical skills and financial modelling capabilities, with a deep attention to detail
• Superior ability to synthesize the output from analyses, identify the ''so-what,'' develop early hypotheses, and propose the next line of inquiry
• Experience in building executive-level materials, with a keen eye for presentation design, and the ability to distil complex concepts and analyses into clear, easy-to-understand presentations
• Possess a high level of intellectual curiosity, focus on generating results, and exhibit the highest personal and professional standards of integrity and ethics
• Passion for entertainment, love for content and avid viewer, as well as a passion for staying on top of industry trends while figuring out what the future will look like with a relentless focus on creating and improving consumer value.
• Collaborative and diplomatic by nature, but also willing to take and defend data- and analysis-backed positions in the ongoing process and dialogue around content selection.
• Should be energetic, positive, and resilient with a demonstrated ability to influence, build relationships, and drive projects among cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-paced, constantly changing and deadline driven environment.
• Experience leading a high performing team, managing people and projects to results
• Ability to navigate within complex and / or matrixed organisations
