Job description

Radial Entertainment is a global entertainment company, formed through the merger of Shout! Studios and FilmRise, backed by Oaktree Capital Management. Radial boasts a diverse library of over 70,000 movies and episodes, making it the largest independent catalog in the industry. The company delivers high-quality entertainment to all major consumer platforms including FAST channels, AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, physical product, theatrical film and more.

We are seeking a Manager, FP&A and Strategy to join our Finance team. The Manager, FP&A and Strategy will play a key role in supporting executive leadership and our private equity sponsor, combining core FP&A ownership (forecasting and performance reporting) with analytical production for Corporate Strategy and Development initiatives.

When not working on strategic projects, this role will participate in driving improvements to the financial processes and workstreams that provide visibility into performance across our operating model and content portfolio.

The ideal candidate combines strong financial modeling skills with the ability to think critically and holistically about end-to-end business processes. This person is comfortable owning work product from granular inputs to executive outputs, distilling complex analysis into clear and concise recommendations for senior stakeholders. This person can effectively jump between independent and group work, and thrives in a fast-paced, investor-driven environment.
