Sr Financial Business Analyst, Fandom

At Sony Pictures Entertainment, we create and deepen Fandom for audiences to build a connection that lasts a lifetime. Across our film and television portfolio, we meet audiences where they are — driving awareness, engagement, and long-term affinity across platforms.

We’re seeking a solutions-oriented Senior Financial Business Analyst to help scale the operations behind our growing network of channels and pages across YouTube, Meta, TikTok, and emerging platforms. This role brings financial rigor and strategic insight to a creative, fast-moving digital business.

You’ll translate performance data into actionable business decisions — shaping forecasts, informing greenlight strategy, and improving the reporting infrastructure that enables scale. We’re looking for someone analytical and organized, but equally curious — someone energized by solving new problems in the evolving digital media landscape.

You’ll join a nimble content programming team focused on driving commercial and audience growth across a global network. We move quickly, think strategically, and care deeply about film, television, and what’s next for digital video.

• Business Insights & Analysis – Leverage internal and external data tools to generate insights across audience trends, content performance, market dynamics, ROI, and financial modeling. Deliver clear, decision-ready analysis to stakeholders.
• Digital Slate Strategy & Valuation - Establish benchmarks, assess monetization dynamics, and develop valuation frameworks that inform digital-first greenlighting decisions and long-term investment strategy. Identify white space opportunities to expand revenue and audience growth across platforms.
• Scalable Workflows & Reporting – Establish and streamline operational and financial processes, workflows, and automate reporting that drives efficiency and growth across the global network
• Content Research & Planning – Identify high-potential content and monetization opportunities, recommending distribution strategies that maximize IP value and long-term audience growth across platforms.

• Working knowledge of SQL or coding (e.g., Python) to manipulate, analyze, and validate datasets
• Ability to independently source, structure, and interpret raw data to generate actionable insights
• Advanced PowerPoint skills with the ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear, executive-ready presentations and decision materials
• Strategic thinker with demonstrated ability to identify risks, opportunities, and white space
• Strong understanding of digital media and AVOD metrics (e.g., CPMs, ad fill rates, ad loads)
• High initiative, ownership mindset, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
