工作概要:

Would you like to be part of the interdisciplinary team providing vital insights into the rapidly evolving media landscape for Disney’s suite of television networks (ABC, ESPN, etc.) and direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming services? Join our Data & Analytics Operations team, whose mission is to develop, support, and improve analytics operations by delivering data-driven applications that drive efficiencies across the Research, Insights & Analytics group in Disney Entertainment (DE).

We highly value statistical modeling and machine learning approaches—including cross-media measurement and activation across linear, streaming, and digital platforms. We balance advanced methods with pragmatic, classical ones that focus on strong business context, merging the science with the craft. Additionally, we incorporate and deploy modern GenAI-assisted workflows to accelerate analysis and documentation within established privacy and governance standards.

Job Summary:

As a Data Scientist on the Disney Entertainment (DE) Research, Insights & Analytics team, you’ll develop and improve predictive models that inform advertising and audience dynamics across Disney’s television networks and DTC streaming services (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+).

You’ll extend this work into cross-media measurement and activation as a whole, delivering clear communications of model accuracy, results, and business impact.

You’ll contribute to production-level data-science pipelines and monitoring of models (clean, well-tested Python/SQL; versioning, and QA) and help enhance analysis of complex data for partners in Research, Content, Ad Sales, and Forecasting. You’ll responsibly leverage and deploy AI workflows to improve quality, speed, and depth of analysis—validating outputs before use.

Collaboration: Partner closely with peers and business stakeholders to identify and unlock opportunities. Collaborate with other data teams to improve capabilities around data modeling, data platforms, and data visualizations.
Process Improvement: Drive innovation by exploring new statistical techniques and brainstorming ways to optimize existing infrastructure and make processes even better.
Operations: Apply Agile principles via participating in standups, sprint planning, writing business requirements documents, and retrospectives; Participate in an “Open Source” learning environment where sharing, documenting, teaching, and collaborating with others is the culture.
