Financial Analyst - 6 months contract, 35-38k

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.
