Job summary

NBCUniversal in Los Angeles is seeking an SVP, Head of Studio Data & Insights to lead the data strategy, analytics and AI insights across the studio. You will own teams, set priorities, and partner with executive leaders to drive adoption of the function's agenda.

Success requires building inclusive, high-performing teams, aligning with global platform roadmaps, and embedding data-driven decision making across production, marketing, and distribution. Hybrid work schedule offered.

Qualifications

• BA/BS required, MBA or JD preferred.
• Forward-thinking, strategic, tactical and detail-oriented; proven ability to work across an organization at all levels with technical, creative, and executive team members.
• Ability to work with confidential and sensitive information in a discrete manner.
• Superior analytical, presentation and communication skills – written and verbal.
• Ability to identify key priorities and execute on them.

Responsibilities

• Act as the EVP's senior partner in-region, operating with delegated authority within an agreed decision framework and serving as the function's voice in executive, fast-moving, and cross-functional forums where in-region presence and judgement are required.
• Provide leadership and direction for the Los Angeles-based data strategy and analytics organization, including teams focused on insights, analytics, and AI-enabled decision support. Partner closely with the LA-based SVPs and their teams to align priorities, support delivery across the portfolio, shape the operating plan, and foster a high standard of work and impact across the region.
• Identify, develop, and empower talent across the leadership bench. Raise the bar through hiring, coaching, and succession planning; build collaborative and inclusive teams; grow senior leaders who can own their areas independently; and establish clear rules on which decisions genuinely need escalation.
• Lead and deepen the function's senior stakeholder relationships across UE's departments, owning the strategic agenda, the value narrative, and the forward asks for each.
• Represent the Los Angeles’ studio’s requirements into the global data & analytics platform roadmap. Work with the EVP and the UK-based data platform team to translate stakeholder needs into prioritised input on analytics platforms and the underlying data and AI capability.
• Partner closely with Strategy and Research teams as the function's nearest neighbours, ensuring data, analytics and AI insight is combined with strategic and audience research rather than delivered in parallel.
• Drive adoption and embedding of central insights platforms and AI-enabled analyses across creative development, greenlight, marketing, and distribution for Universal Entertainment's Film and TV divisions.
• Own the evidence of impact. Establish how the function's contribution is tracked and articulated and carry that case to UE and NBCU leadership.
