Tech Data Analyst I – Strategic Planning, Business Operations & Insights

Shape the Future of Global Entertainment at arenaflex

At arenaflex, we believe that data is more than numbers on a dashboard — it is the lifeblood of every strategic decision, every creative breakthrough, and every unforgettable moment we deliver to audiences around the world. We are reimagining how entertainment, sports, and digital media are produced, distributed, and consumed, and we are searching for a curious, analytical, and driven Tech Data Analyst I to join our Business Operations team within the Technology Planning and Analysis group. If you are passionate about turning complex data into clear narratives, building tools that empower decision-makers, and working at the intersection of technology, media, and innovation, this opportunity is designed for you.

This is a full-time, entry-level data analyst position with a focus on strategic planning, technology roadmap analytics, and cross-functional partnership. The role is ideal for early-career professionals who hold a bachelor's degree, love working with data, and want to grow within a forward-thinking organization that values curiosity, ownership, and meaningful impact. While the original posting referenced an annual compensation range of $70–$80 (a figure that appears to be inaccurate for a U.S.-based analyst role), the realistic hiring range for this position in California is approximately $77,300 to $103,600 per year, based on a standard 40-hour work week, with potential bonuses, long-term incentive units, and a comprehensive benefits package.
