What the job involves
- The Core Data Services org serves primarily internal customers comprised of business units and analytics teams across the entire Live Nation enterprise
- Within Core Data Services, our Customer Enablement Team is responsible for establishing and maintaining relationships with all those customers to help us create the data solutions required to power each team or initiative to serve artists, our fans, and the business
- In this role, you will drive strategic thinking and cross-functional alignment around data-driven approaches to optimize product and marketing efforts (including experimentation) based on current state data, historical operational data, entity relationships, lifecycle stages, and other critical attributes or customer needs
- You will perform deep exploration of data across our business, provide high value analyses, and inform other actionable analysis and modeling
- A significant portion of this analysis will be in identifying and reconciling differences in data from different systems that must be aligned in a centralized global data lake—this is of particular importance when handling and analyzing international data (i.e. US, EU, APAC, Brazil, etc.)
- You will also work with the Business Intelligence (BI) team to provide valuable views and data products for downstream users across multiple functions, again with particular emphasis on combining data from multiple countries
- In so doing, you will be a key partner with cross-functional stakeholders to better understand our users and internal customers to create an accurate, data-driven business picture of our global landscape as well as our future opportunities
- Conduct data analysis to identify or reconcile data differences among different platforms, including multiple international data lakes and sources, each containing source of truth elements that must be combined into a single authoritative global data platform
- Collaborate with and provide additional Product leadership for the BI Team to ensure optimized data architectures and valuable data products
- Assist with data validations in ongoing data migration projects such as moving to newer versions of Google Analytics, changing data lake vendors, or updating source systems’ transactional databases
- Conduct ad-hoc data analysis to evaluate emerging trends, opportunities, and hypotheses
- Identify valuable views and data products for business intelligence (BI) users, analytics teams, marketers, strategy teams, and other analysts
- Use and analyze data from multiple large-scale data warehouses and present statistically strong analysis to a wide range of business stakeholders
- Drive continuous improvements to our products, tools, and processes by sharing learnings, constructive feedback, and input with internal technical and analytics teams
- Demonstrate a strong understanding of the analytics needs of the international business, the global business context of the data, and the data/tooling landscape and roadmap
- Design data models to best support analytics needs of the business, consistent with data strategy principles
- Partner with Architecture and Governance teams to maintain accurate documentation
- Automate manual analysis processes and present back on time and resource gains
- Independently learn new technologies to best identify valuable data products for the business as well as resolve data accuracy and report production issues
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Live Nation is the world's leading live entertainment company, sitting at the top of the market in live events and ticketing. Formed in 2009, it is a major international company, with key business segments made up of concerts, ticketing, and sponsorship and advertising.
Despite its dominant position in the market, the company saw an 84% drop in revenue during 2020 and the closure of live events. Since then, however, demand has been stronger than ever for their ticket sales. This is a reflection that live events remain a clear priority for consumers and has been further reflected in Live Nation's acquisitions of companies - like Goodlive - that complement and bolster Live Nation's portfolio.
In addition to live events, a key area to watch for Live Nation will be the rise of online concert streaming, like that undertaken by competitors such as Driift. Major festivals such as Glastonbury have trialled online concerts with mixed reviews. If it proves successful, this could be a major new section of the entertainment market and a big potential part of Live Nation's future ventures.

- Live for ideas - Part of working in a creative industry is imagining what could be and exploring the possibilities. We encourage everyone at Live Nation to dream big and email our CEO with ideas to move our business forward
- Live for entrepreneurship - Employees who thrive here are self-starters who are experts at what they do. While we give a tremendous amount of independence to our employees, we are also precise and exacting about performance. There is no hiding behind process here. You are evaluated on your results and concrete contributions to our business
- Live for focus - We have a long “To Do” list but an even longer “Not To Do” list. As the demand for live events continues to grow across the globe, we have to stay focused on our core mission of connecting artists with their fans for those magical hours of live music
- Live for talent - We believe talent comes from any place or background. This is not a place for elitists. We hire people for who they are – hard workers who deliver results and are passionate about what they do
