What skills are most important for a job like yours?
I would say being detail-oriented while understanding how to prioritize are the most important skills, especially when working for such a large company. There are so many details, and it's easy to get lost in different iterations of a project or all the different shows and dollars involved.
Making sure you're always aware of what's going on is key. When comparing things, having an "apples to apples" scale set is very important to achieve the job.
Also, in entertainment, appreciating the context makes any job a lot more interesting, as that's how you enjoy the work. Knowing how to pursue context, whether by reading about the content or having conversations, will make the job more enjoyable and the work make more sense.
