NEW ROLE: Senior Commercial Finance Business Partner – Sports Agency | London (Hybrid) Initial 6 month contract - could extend or go permanent - applicants on a maximum of 2 weeks notice

Broster Buchanan have been engaged by an exciting, PE backed sports agency based in London to help them find their next Senior Commercial Finance Business Partner – and trust me, this one’s a bit of a gem.

They work at the heart of the sports industry, partnering with some of the biggest names in European football and global sports organisations. Following a recent restructure they are looking for a commercially focussed business partner to help drive the business forward alongside overseeing its day to day finance operations.

The Role:

You’ll be reporting directly to the C-Suite, acting as the key commercial finance lead across the business. It’s a hands-on, strategic role with plenty of variety – covering everything from cost and revenue planning to financial contract negotiations, cash flow forecasting, and supporting commercial rights strategy alongside the Head of Media Sales.

You’ll also be the go-to person for internal stakeholders – from the sales and production teams to the C-suite and Group Finance – so strong communication and stakeholder management are a must.

What they’re looking for:

• 2:1 or above in Finance, Business, or Commercial Sports
• ACCA / ACA or equivalent (preferred)
• 3+ years’ experience in FP&A, ideally in commercial sports or media rights
• Strong understanding of cash flow forecasting
• Confidence working across multiple internal teams and senior stakeholders
• KPI-driven, with a strong focus on EBITDA and margin optimisation
• Experience working with or within sports leagues, clubs or rightsholders a big benefit
• And naturally, a strong interest in European football and the global sports landscape

Why it's worth a look:

• Direct exposure to major European football clubs and global sports brands
• Work alongside industry-leading execs in sports commercialisation
• The business is scaling fast, with backing from a major private equity firm
• Hybrid setup – 2 days remote
• A genuinely commercial role where you can make an impact and grow quickly

If this sounds like something you'd be keen to explore, drop me a message or send across your CV. Interviews are moving quickly, and the business is ready to meet standout candidates.
