  • Produce performance reporting with clear variance analysis and commercial commentary

  • Analyse project costs, margins, and profitability across live and digital content

  • Partner with operational and creative teams to improve cost control and decision-making

  • Assist with financial modelling and scenario analysis for new projects and investments

  • Support month-end processes, management reporting, and balance sheet analysis

  • Maintain and improve financial models, dashboards, and reporting tools

Candidate Profile

  • ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified or part-qualified, or equivalent analytical experience

  • Previous experience in entertainment, media, or project-based environments

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and present clear insights

  • Confident communicator able to work with non-finance stakeholders

  • Advanced Excel and financial modelling capability

  • Detail-oriented, commercially minded, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
