Financial Analyst - 6 months contract, 35-38k
Posted 4 weeks ago
The business is Europe's leading live entertainment platform, owning over 80 festivals including major rock, electronic, and Gen Z-focused events. With F&B playing a huge part in the overall revenue.
Working directly alongside the F&B Strategy Lead, the F&B Junior Analyst will help build the evidence base that will shape the company's F&B strategy for the next 5 years.
This is not a standard FP&A role. The Junior F&B Analyst will work with messy, live event data from multiple systems and help turn it into clear commercial recommendations.
This is a 6 months FTC role, whilst there is an opportunity for the role to become permanent, this isn’t guaranteed.
Data Consolidation & Cleaning (First 8 weeks)
- Pull sales, volume, and margin data from theexisting POS system (Square)across multiple festivals and venues.
- Work with local finance teams across Iberia, Netherlands, UK, and Germany to standardise reporting.
- Investigate why "all data is not in one plan" and help build a single source of truth inPowerBI.
Comparative Operating Model Analysis
- Model the financial and operational performance ofin-house F&B vs outsourcedpartners (major contract caterers).
- Compare good examples vs poor examples within the company's own network.
- Benchmark national team performance across different countries.
Supporting the 3-Month Recommendation
- By month 3, the F&B Strategy Lead will present a final recommendation on the right level of F&B expertise per country.
- You will own thedata appendixbehind that recommendation – every chart, every unit economics assumption, every variance.
Who You Are
- 1-2 years experiencein a data or analyst role (internships included) – ideally in hospitality, retail, events, or QSR.
- Comfortable with Square POS dataor similar EPOS systems.
- Strong PowerBI user– you can connect to multiple data sources and build clear, executive-ready dashboards.
- Commercially curious– you don't just report numbers; you ask, "why is this bar outperforming that bar?"
- Comfortable with ambiguity– you will be working in a decentralised, post-acquisition environment where data is not always perfect.
Nice to Have
- Experience working withlive events, festivals, or stadiums.
- Familiarity withoutsourced F&B models(major contract caterers).
- Basic SQL or Python for ad-hoc data pulls.
