• Work closely with merchandise planning, finance, operations, and label commercial teams to align on assumptions, timelines, reporting, and planning processes
• Lead recurring executive reporting, compiling business reviews, and performance analysis
• Identify risks, opportunities, and trends across artists, product categories, campaigns, and sales channels
• Help shape the roadmap for stronger forecasting tools, reporting infrastructure, and planning workflows
• Build clear analytical frameworks and reporting solutions that improve forecasting accuracy and commercial visibility
• Help establish shared best practices for revenue forecasting, commercial planning, and business reviews across teams

Bring your VIBE:

• 5–8 years of experience in forecasting, commercial analytics, retail planning, ecommerce strategy, business insights, or a similar analytical role
• Experience in a major music company is strongly preferred
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with the ability to work across multiple teams and business functions
• Experience building forecasting methodologies, planning processes, dashboards, and/or executive reporting
• Familiarity with ecommerce, merchandise planning, retail analytics, touring, consumer products, or artist/label businesses
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex information clearly and simply
• Comfort working cross-functionally with finance, merchandising, operations, commercial, and account teams
• Ability to operate in an evolving, fast-moving business where the answer is not always obvious
• Experience leading business performance reviews, with a strong understanding of P&L drivers and the ability to translate sales performance into strategic recommendations
• Bonus points for experience building forecasting models and analytical tools, including leveraging modern data and AI capabilities to improve planning, forecasting, and decision-making
• Familiarity with SQL, BigQuery, LookML, or similar analytical technologies, with the ability to prototype datasets, reporting layers, or forecasting solutions in partnership with technical teams
• A proactive, curious, and solutions-oriented mindset
