Job Summary:

Be you, be here, be part of the story!

At The Walt Disney Company, magic is more than just a word; it's a way of life. For a century, we've been inspiring imaginations, celebrating diversity, and bringing families together through our beloved stories, characters, and experiences. From our iconic theme parks and resorts to our groundbreaking films, television shows, interactive media and products, we're dedicated to creating magic that knows no bounds.

This is a 9m FTC role.

This is an office-based role. 4 days working in the Hammersmith, London office with 1 day working from home (Monday or Friday).

The Senior Analyst will play a pivotal role in supporting the CS&BD team with the development and delivery of EMEA-wide business strategies and initiatives. The role requires superior strategic, analytical and collaboration skills - and the ability to apply these effectively as part of the C S &BD team.

Senior analysts are the most experienced analysts in the CS&BD team, setting the bar for other analysts to meet. Senior analysts build a solid understanding of the various Disney Entertainment and ESPN businesses (including the various areas within Streaming), a more advanced proficiency in business/financial modelling (directly applied in multiple projects), an ability to effectively collaborate with different levels of the organization / teams across EMEA and in the US (developing a wide internal network) and experience in presenting & discussing results with senior leadership (including SVPs).

As a result, the senior analyst supports our most important and highest profile projects, taking the lead on the business/ financial modelling and interacting with multiple teams across the organization, often working directly with the VP and Directors in the team and presenting their output to EMEA SVPs. In addition, the senior analyst also plays a pivotal role in various outputs produced by the CS&BD team, which feed into various of our projects and the work conducted by other teams within DTC.

Finally, due to its experience & capabilities, the senior analyst will informally act as a mentor and a first point of call for other analysts in the team, providing support when they run into challenges in their own projects or need a sounding board - e.g., the senior analyst can help younger analysts troubleshooting issues in the IR models or offer advice on how to craft a specific written material to be more effective with a senior audience.

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Support strategic & financial analysis of growth opportunities for Disney+ in EMEA (e.g., evolution of our commercial offer, introduction of new product features, launching in new markets, )
• Work with regional business leads and local Country Managers to build business cases for new opportunities, identifying associated revenue streams, costs and risks and/or support review of business plans prepared by local Country Managers to test viability and alignment to overall company goals
• Provide advanced business modelling/analysis (including interpretation) of financial data to support business operations
• Support preparation of the annual strategic business review and 5-year plan, including coordination with relevant Regional and US/Global stakeholders.
• Monitor key market trends - e.g., across consumer behaviour and competitors - extracting meaningful insights that inform key decision in our business
• Evaluate potential commercial partnerships, assessing strategic fit and financial & operational impacts - e.g., collaborations with other streaming services; distribution of Disney+ through wholesale partners (e.g., Pay TV/ Telecom operators, Consumer Brands); evaluate opportunities to establish strategic partnerships with external content producers (e.g., linear TV channels); evaluate opportunities to license external content and rights (e.g., films and series from external producers, sports rights, )
• Support and deliver integrated EMEA initiatives as identified by the EMEA President
• Ongoing support across strategic and operational priorities

Areas of Accountability (Strategic Impact, Financial, Management, Relationships)

Include factors such as team size, geographical scope, financial responsibilities (e.g., revenue targets, size of budget to manage etc) and level of authorisation

• Supporting the CS&BD function in the management and delivery of ongoing projects in EMEA, with a particular emphasis on DTC
• The senior analyst assumes responsibility for our most complex/challenging business & financial models, which are a key component to the success of the most important projects within CS&BD.
• The senior analyst also leads directly the preparation of important outputs from the CS&BD team, which are used widely across our projects and in other areas of the DTC team, and require close collaboration with all local DTC teams
