You'll also identify new advertising opportunities and help position GSTV to prospective clients in key target markets, using research, analytics, and category insights to open doors ahead of the sales process.

The role is highly collaborative with sales, marketing, product and technology, and owns the analytics that demonstrate ROI and articulate GSTV's story to advertisers and clients. The VP, Insights & Analytics will be instrumental in driving the strategy around our measurement and data partners, including evaluating third-party data and technology partnerships that strengthen targeting and attribution.

• Ensure Compliance: Protect the interests of GSTV, its partners, and its customers by ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
