Analyst, Revenue Planning and Performance Analytics
As the market leader in sports technology, Sportradar is positioned at the center of the sports ecosystem. The broader Financial Planning & Analysis organization plays a critical role in delivering extraordinary growth. In an industry where AI is redefining fan engagement, finance leaders must be as sophisticated as the technology, combining financial discipline with commercial acumen and advanced analytics to unlock opportunities across a market growing at double-digit percent annually.
Reporting to the VP of Revenue Performance & Planning, the analyst is the primary performance auditor of commercial outcomes. This role involves interrogating numbers and recommending the way forward to maximise value. The mission is to identify the "why" behind performance trends and package them into a compelling story to drive business decisions. The analyst provides the critical challenge required for driving revenue and margin, guiding business counterparts through a transformative planning process that prioritises drivers over pure outcomes.
- Proactive revenue performance analysis: move past outcomes to identify the specific revenue drivers (e.g., usage, churn, pricing, market) that management must focus on.
- Revenue forecast pressure-testing: Interrogate the inputs that feed the global P&L to ensure every forecast is achievable and rooted in actionable drivers.
- Logic refinement: Identify and dismantle broken assumptions in commercial plans and rebuild them into actionable, robust frameworks.
- Causal synthesis: Translate complex technical and commercial data into clear, authoritative narratives for senior stakeholders.
- Driver autopsy: Conduct deep-dives into revenue beats or misses to distinguish between one-time windfalls and core structural trends.
- Planning guidance: Lead commercial counterparts through the forecasting and budgeting process to ensure submissions are robust and logically sound.
- Business modeling: Create elegant solutions for complex business topics like pricing elasticity and market entry costs.
- Build automated revenue reporting using advanced analytical and reporting tools on top of data warehouse and billing data sets to steer commercial decision making.
- 2-5 years in a multidisciplinary finance, analytics, and/or consulting role (required).
- Proficiency in either commercial finance or commercial analytics (required).
- Relevant bachelor’s degree (required).
- Master’s degree (preferred).
- SQL, Power BI / Tableau, and AI agents knowledge is essential (required).
- Experience with Python or n8n/workflow automation is highly valued (nice-to-have).
- An "accountability" mindset - valuing the strength of a plan over the speed of its delivery (required).
- Asks smart questions and refuses to accept surface-level explanations (required).
- Enables business success by providing the "so-what" that others miss (required).
- Is a "fixer" who enjoys the challenge of untangling messy data problems to find a clear path forward (required).
