Senior Financial Analyst - Assistant Manager

We are looking for a Assistant Manager / Senior Financial Analyst to join our FP&A team. This role sits at the intersection of finance and the business, providing decision-support analytics for festivals, events, label deals, partnerships, and new ventures. They will be the financial brain behind go/no-go decisions on events, sponsorship deals, artist contracts, and capital investments - owning deal-level P&Ls from pitch to post-event reconciliation.

This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to senior leadership. The right candidate is commercially minded, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to translate complex financial analysis into clear recommendations for non-finance stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Deal & Event P&L Ownership

• Build and maintain detailed event-level P&Ls covering ticketing, sponsorship, F&B, merchandise, production, talent, marketing, and overhead allocations.
• Lead pre-event budgeting in partnership with event producers, marketing, and commercial teams; track actuals against budget through the event lifecycle.
• Conduct post-event reconciliation and variance analysis; produce post-mortem reports identifying margin drivers, cost overruns, and revenue realization gaps.
• Model scenarios for ticket pricing, capacity, sponsorship tiers, and cost structures to support commercial decision-making.

ROI & Investment Analysis

• Build business cases for new events, venues, partnerships, and capital investments using NPV, IRR, payback period, and sensitivity analysis.
• Evaluate sponsorship and partnership deals -including telecom, FMCG, and media partners quantifying value-in-kind, cash, and activation costs.
• Analyze artist booking economics, including guarantees, backend splits, production riders, and break-even attendance thresholds.
• Support label and publishing deal analysis: recoupment modeling, advance economics, royalty waterfalls, and rights valuations.

Commercial Business Partnering

• Act as the embedded finance partner to commercial, marketing, and event production leads.
• Translate financial analysis into clear recommendations and trade-offs for non-finance stakeholders.
• Challenge assumptions in business cases and pricing proposals; provide an independent commercial view.
• Support contract negotiations with vendors, partners, and talent - providing financial framing on deal terms.

Reporting & Insights

• Produce monthly commercial performance dashboards covering event portfolio P&L, deal pipeline, and ROI tracking.
• Prepare board- and executive-level decks summarizing event performance, deal economics, and forward-looking commercial bets.
• Identify trends across the event portfolio: cost benchmarks, revenue per attendee, sponsorship yield, and margin patterns.

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Standardize event P&L templates, deal evaluation frameworks, and ROI methodologies across the business.
• Partner with accounting and FP&A peers to ensure clean data flow from operational systems into commercial reporting.
• Build repeatable models and tools that scale as the event portfolio grows.
