arenaflex is embarking on an exciting new chapter of growth, and our Marketing and Communications (MarComms) Strategy and Analytics team is at the heart of that transformation. We are seeking a sharp, strategic, and analytically gifted Manager, Strategy & Analysis, Marketing & Communications to elevate the publishing platform (TUDUM.com) and inform the broader MarComms decision-making engine. If you thrive at the intersection of data, storytelling, and audience engagement, this role is your platform to make an outsized impact.

About the Publishing Platform: TUDUM

Launched in December 2021, TUDUM.com was designed to be arenaflex's ultimate home for fans. Our mission is to spark joy by deepening connections with beloved titles and helping audiences discover their next great obsession. In just one year, TUDUM has nearly tripled its traffic, signaling massive momentum and untapped potential. The next phase of growth will be powered by sharper insights, more intuitive editorial choices, and a refined understanding of what fans want, when they want it, and how they want to consume it.

To unlock that potential, we need a research-driven strategy leader who can weave together insights from a vast sea of data and translate them into clear actions for our editorial, growth, and product teams. This is not a back-office analytics role. It is a high-visibility position that shapes how a global entertainment brand connects with hundreds of millions of fans.

We are looking for a big-picture thinker, a self-starter, and a thought partner with a sharp analytical eye and impeccable attention to detail.

The ideal candidate will flourish in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, embrace ambiguity, and bring an elevated level of intellectual curiosity to every project. Prior experience in an analytics role within a publishing organization is strongly preferred, as is a passion for entertainment and digital media.

• Industry Fluency: Familiarity with industry-standard metrics of success within digital publishing, including traffic, engagement, retention, and conversion benchmarks.
• Consumer Insight: Deep understanding of consumer behavior and discovery habits within entertainment, including how those behaviors intersect with content libraries and platform services.
