Job Summary

This is a 9 month FTC role based in our Hammersmith office (four days in the office and one day working from home).

You will play a pivotal role in supporting the Corporate Strategy & Business Development team with the development and delivery of EMEA wide business strategies and initiatives.

The role requires superior strategic, analytical, and collaboration skills.

You will build a solid understanding of the various Disney Entertainment businesses, including the different areas within streaming, advanced proficiency in business/financial modelling (directly applied in multiple projects), the ability to collaborate with different levels of the organization across EMEA and the US, and experience presenting & discussing results with senior leadership (including SVPs).

You will work on our most important and highest profile projects, taking the lead on business/financial modelling and interacting with multiple teams across the organization. Often you will work directly with the VP and Directors in the team and present their output to EMEA SVPs.

You will informally act as a mentor and a first point of call for other analysts in the team, providing support when they encounter challenges in their own projects or need a sounding board - for example, helping analysts troubleshoot issues in IR models or offering advice on how to craft written material to be more effective with a senior audience.
