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.

• 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)
• 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.

• Competitive base salary of £80,000 – £85,000
• 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
