THE ROLE
You will be working with television schedules, recordings, and industry sources to identify content.

* Assigning genres and brand identification for coded content
* Tracking major media events such as premieres or key sporting events that could alter viewing patterns
* Working on ad‑hoc projects like classification of YouTube content or tracking adverts across platforms
* Answering queries from data users
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
* Fantastic attention to detail, particularly for spotting irregularities in data
* Demonstrated producing accurate work in time‑pressed environments
* Reasonable typing speed (touch typing would be an advantage)
* Interest in media, television and content
* Experience of using the internet for research
* Excellent time management skills and ability to make quick logical decisions, particularly in relation to balancing and prioritising tasks
