Media technology strategy consultant

At Caretta Research we provide research, data and expert advisory services to the world's leading broadcast, media and sports companies, and the technology vendors that underpin global broadcasting, telecoms, streaming, ad tech and sports tech. We help them make smarter technology decisions, backed by research.

We're looking for a bright, ambitious and curious individual to join our team as a strategy consultant, working at the intersection of media, business and technology. You'll have a passion for media and entertainment and tech and be looking to grow your consulting skills.

If you're as interested in the technology that makes streaming work as you are in watching the screen, this is the chance to quickly become a global expert and shape the future of media. You'll be working directly with industry leaders, contributing to high-impact projects from day one.

Responsibilities

• Conducting research and analysis: Dive deep into market trends, competitive landscapes and new technologies, plus analysing Caretta Portal data, to uncover key insights that inform our strategic recommendations.
• Engaging with industry leaders: Contacting senior technology decision makers and carrying out primary research interviews on how they're choosing and using technology.
• Delivering client projects: Working solo, or alongside senior consultants, on client engagements. This could involve helping a media tech vendor refine its go-to-market strategy one week, and assisting a major broadcaster with a large-scale technology procurement the next.
• Developing reports and presentations: Synthesise and structure complex and often conflicting information into clear, compelling narratives. You'll help create client-facing presentations, research reports, and market analyses.
• Engaging with the industry: Attend industry events, participate in client workshops, and contribute to Caretta Research's thought leadership through articles and white papers.

Requirements

We are looking for a candidate who is not just qualified, but genuinely passionate about the media and technology space. You should be intellectually curious and driven to understand how technology is reshaping the business of media.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A 2:1 or first-class bachelor's degree from a leading university, preferably a master's.
  
• A passion for media, entertainment and sports with a curiosity about the technology that makes it work.
• A demonstrable and keen interest in the way media, business and technology come together.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely.
• A proactive, self-starter attitude with a strong desire to learn and contribute in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• The confidence to engage with senior stakeholders in global organisations.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and part of a team, happily dealing with uncertainty and complexity to figure out the best approach and right answers.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to handle challenging situations with professionalism and empathy
• Diligent, with an impeccable attention to detail, and willing to go the extra mile

Important: please note you must have existing EU or UK residency or the right to work in the EU or UK as we are unable to sponsor work permits.

Our process for this application involves:

1. An application form and CV.
2. An initial interview with the hiring manager.
3. A set of tests relevant to this role.
4. A presentation of the findings and outcomes from the tests to the team at Caretta Research.

We aim to get successful candidates through the process within about 2-3 weeks.

Benefits

• Unrivalled exposure: Gain direct access to senior executives and decision-makers across the media technology ecosystem.
• Rapid learning curve: We are a small, dynamic team, which means you'll have significant responsibility from the start and a steep, rewarding learning curve.
• Mentorship: Work directly with experienced partners and consultants who are invested in your professional development and training
• Impactful work: Contribute to projects that have a real and immediate impact on our clients' businesses in a fun and friendly global industry.
• Competitive salary structure
• Supportive team: working with a great international team with a flexible, non-bureaucratic work environment
• Flexible location: based either remotely in the UK, or in our new office in Athens, Greece
