Role Summary

The Analyst, YouTube Intelligence is responsible for the day-to-day performance tracking, reporting, and analysis that powers creative decision-making across Beast Industries’ YouTube channels. Reporting to the Senior Manager of YouTube Intelligence, this role is the analytical engine room, ensuring that every channel, every upload, and every format has the data context needed for creative teams to make better decisions.

• Monitor performance on the upload cycle, flagging early signals on new videos and Shorts and finding insights and trends to improve
• Track performance across all relevant variables that inform ideation, creative, production and editing decisions

Reporting & Post-Mortems

• Produce weekly performance reports across all channels, distilling raw data into clear narratives about what happened, why, and what should change
• Contribute to monthly roll-up reports that capture broader performance trends, content mix effectiveness, and channel trajectory
• Run post-mortems on individual long-form videos and Shorts, pulling performance data and drafting initial insights for the Senior Manager to review, refine, and elevate to leadership

Competitive & Platform Monitoring

• Track what top-tier creators and emerging channels are doing—new formats, packaging experiments, content strategies—and flag relevant signals for the team
• Monitor YouTube platform changes, trending topics, and format-level shifts across long-form, Shorts, live streams, and community posts
• Maintain competitive tracking systems that give the team a persistent view of how Beast’s channels are performing relative to the broader YouTube landscape

• You are highly proficient with spreadsheets, comfortable building dashboards, and have working familiarity with SQL or similar query tools
• You actively use AI tools in your analytical workflow and see them as a core multiplier, not a novelty. You use them to automate repetitive work, accelerate analysis, and build things faster

• You are fast, reliable, and detail-oriented. You take ownership of your deliverables and don’t wait to be told what to look at
• You are genuinely obsessed with YouTube content and excited by the opportunity to apply that obsession at the highest level of the platform

Success in This Role

• Weekly and monthly reports are consistently delivered on time, are analytically rigorous, and contain insights that visibly influence creative decisions
• Post-mortems go beyond surface-level metrics and consistently surface insights that change how the next video is approached
• Channel leads and creative teams increasingly rely on this role as a trusted source of performance context and creative input
