The Role: Automation First
We are seeking a Finance Automation Analyst whose primary passion and expertise lie in eliminating manual workflows. In this role, hands-on automation experience is the number one priority.
You will be tasked with identifying and automating a heavy volume of manual processes across the business. While there is a significant focus on transforming royalty operations, you will have equal responsibility for automating core finance workflows-including accruals, costs, and revenue processing.
What You'll Do
-
Spot manual, repetitive workflows across both royalty and finance operations, designing robust, scalable replacements from scratch.
-
Build automated checks for revenue reconciliations, DSP sales report processing, and VAT reconciliations on royalty statements.
-
Streamline financial operations by automating processes related to monthly accruals, costs, and transactional revenue tracking.
-
Standardize data ingestion as digital partners and sales statements evolve over time.
-
Partner directly with Finance and Royalty leaders to consult on systemic upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and ad-hoc data projects.
-
Write crystal-clear system documentation and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for newly automated pipelines.
What We're Looking For
1. Core Automation Expertise
- Real, hands-on experience automating end-to-end operational workflows and manipulating large datasets.
- Tool Agnostic: You must be highly proficient in building robust automation logic using at least one of the following tools: Power Query, SQL, Python, or Tableau. We don't mind which one you use, as long as you can leverage it to successfully eliminate manual work.
2. Finance & Royalty Operations
- Strong foundational experience in Finance workflows (understanding data logic behind accruals, costs, and revenue processing).
- Strong foundational experience in Royalty operations (ideally within music or entertainment, handling royalty platforms, statements, or artist contracts).
