About the role

In the role of Staff Data Analyst, Content Analytics, you will report to the Manager, Content Analytics.

As a Staff Data Analyst, you will lead high-impact analytical work that shapes Crunchyroll’s content strategy - from greenlight to presentation to engagement and retention. You’ll define measurement frameworks, build certified data assets, and partner closely with Content Strategy, Programming, Product, and Licensor teams to deliver insights that guide multi-million-dollar decisions. This role operates with broad autonomy and plays a key part in raising analytical rigor, strengthening data quality, and establishing standards across the Fan Experience (FX) Team.

Core Areas of Responsibility

Lead content measurement frameworks: define north-star KPIs, normalization methods, and comparable title metrics to drive consistent decision-making across regions, seasons, modalities, and content types.

Build certified, reusable data assets: develop durable datasets in Databricks that standardize title/season/episode joins and metadata keys, ensuring high-quality, consistent downstream analysis.

Advance understanding of content impact: quantify title-driven acquisition, engagement, and retention; model content-attributed churn risk; and develop portfolio-level diagnostics to inform slate and localization decisions.

Own and evolve attribution & user-journey insights: maintain and improve viewership attribution logic to map discovery → click → watch → return behaviors, enabling clear readouts on how users discover and engage with titles.

Drive experimentation and presentation measurement: design success metrics, partner on eventing, and analyze experiments for homepage rails, thumbnails, recommendations, language selectors, and other discovery/presentation surfaces.

Deliver decision assets for Content & Licensors: produce clear analyses, dashboards, and reusable frameworks for greenlight, localization ROI, curation, licensor narratives, and internal/external self-serve tooling.

Elevate analytics craft & standards: document methods, set QA and analysis standards, mentor analysts across VODAX, and support hiring to strengthen long-term analytics capability.

About the Team

You will join the Fan Experience (FX) team within the Center for Data & Insights (CDI) organization with a focus on Content Analytics. The team builds core engagement metrics, attribution logic, experimentation frameworks, and licensor-facing insights that support decision-making across the content lifecycle - from greenlight to discovery to retention.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
