Our client is a dynamic, PE-backed international entertainment business experiencing rapid growth and digital transformation. With a global footprint and an entrepreneurial culture, the business is investing heavily in technology, analytics, and automation to drive smarter, data-led decision-making.

As part of this evolution, we’re seeking a Finance Business Partner who blends financial insight with a deep technical foundation in data engineering, analytics, and automation.

Reporting to the Finance Director, you will act as a key commercial partner to senior leadership, leveraging data and technology to enhance financial visibility, performance analysis, and strategic decision-making. This is not a traditional accounting role — it’s ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, data, and technology.

You’ll help design and deliver data-driven financial models, dashboards, and forecasting tools that transform how the business understands its commercial performance.

Skills/experience required:

  • Strong academic or technical background in Data Engineering, Computer Science, AI, or a related field.
  • Significant experience working with large, complex datasets and building automated financial/operational reporting tools.
  • Advanced proficiency in:
  • SQL (data extraction and manipulation)
  • Python (data analysis, automation, modelling)
  • Power BI (dashboard design and visualisation)
  • Excel (complex modelling and scenario analysis)
  • Experience working in a commercial, finance, or analytics capacity within a fast-paced business (entertainment, media, or PE-backed environments highly desirable).
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical outputs into business insight.
  • Passionate about innovation, digital transformation, and using technology to enhance financial decision-making.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive base salary of £80,000 – £85,000
  • £5,000 car allowance
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Opportunity to shape the future of a PE-backed business undergoing digital transformation
  • Collaborative, fast-paced environment where data and creativity meet commercial ambition
