9 Month Fixed-Term Contract
The media and post production landscape continues to evolve and ITV Studios are taking the opportunity to review how services in this space are delivered. Can we adopt innovative cloud-based workflows and AI tooling to streamline our processes, enhance our creativity and unlock the full potential in our intellectual property?
To help shape this potential future direction, we are seeking a Business Analyst on a fixed term contract basis to join the programme, to deliver deep analytical thinking and help define proofs of concept, pilots, toolsets, and ongoing product evolutions.
As a Business Analyst within the Studios Technology team, you will lead user-focussed analysis and assessment of the current post production and media asset landscape, understanding the myriad of ways ITV Studios manages media and delivers post production activities. Armed with this understanding, you will support and collaborate with Product Managers, architects, analysts, engineers and colleagues from production, technology and operations to help define the future direction of travel for media asset management and post production, based on solid evidence and sound insight.
True transformation will require a vision of the future which is supported by evidence of clear commercial advantage to ITV and you will deliver this through analysis of the existing software, hardware, business process and financial estate to help pull together a compelling and robust narrative for ongoing investment.
The team
Together, the Studios Technology team shape and deliver the technology which powers our global content business, from the tools our production teams use to create brilliant programmes, to the systems that help us discover and sell that content around the world.
The Future Post Production project is focussed on enabling transformation in the Post Production and Media Asset Management space, delivered by a cross-functional team of architects, analysts, engineers and experts from our in-house post production teams across the world.
We promote a collaborative culture, open to new ideas and perspectives and with a focus on learning and innovation. You will work in collaboration with a cross-functional team of technologists across the Studios Technology team, reporting to the Programme Manager.
