Our industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and you’ll get the opportunity to roll up your sleeves, jump in, and take ownership in helping us tackle important strategic challenges of the content business today. Intern projects advise our content strategy by developing insights and actionable plans that can be executed by our team. Given how quickly our industry changes, no two intern projects are the same. Previous examples include: how we can optimize the performance of our Seinfeld acquisition, how we can strengthen and grow our robust content genres including Film, International, and Anime, how we can enter new markets like eSports or Virtual Reality, and how we can improve our Kids content environment to cater to our littlest users. This role demands someone who can blend quantitative analysis with a strong subjective filter, at a breakneck pace. We’re small enough that everyone interacts directly with senior business leaders, sharing recommendations and debating the best path forward. The right person for this role likes to solve problems, is a die-hard fan of content and the media industry, and has great analytical and strategic chops. If you are someone who has new, innovative ideas on how Hulu can redefine TV, then this is the role for you.
