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 the existing 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 in PowerBI.

Comparative Operating Model Analysis

Model the financial and operational performance of in-house F&B vs outsourced partners (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 the data appendix behind that recommendation – every chart, every unit economics assumption, every variance.

Who You Are

1-2 years experience in a data or analyst role (internships included) – ideally in hospitality, retail, events, or QSR.Comfortable with Square POS data or 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 with live events, festivals, or stadiums.Familiarity with outsourced F&B models (major contract caterers).Basic SQL or Python for ad-hoc data pulls.
