About

Animaj is a next-generation media company that brings high-quality and inspiring brands to Kids and Families worldwide.

We acquire and transform high-quality IPs into multi-platform franchises, using a digital-first and AI-driven approach.

Our content, produced independently, aims to inspire children to dream, explore, and create.

Job Description

As a Creative Data Analyst at Animaj, you won’t just analyze data—you’ll take ownership of end-to-end projects that drive impact across the company and you’ll combine data analytics with creative insights to uncover what makes content resonate with audiences.

This is not a traditional data analyst position — you’ll play a key role in shaping creative decisions by analyzing YouTube videos and other content platforms through both a technical and creative lens.

Beyond analytical skills, you’ll need strong project management abilities to design, implement, and automate new processes that empower our teams to make smarter, data-informed content. You’ll be at the intersection of analytics, creativity, process innovation, and operational execution, making your role critical to Animaj’s continued success.
