Senior Analyst, Consumer Strategy & Business Development

About the Role & Team

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 CS&BD team.

The Senior Analyst will build a strong understanding of the Disney Entertainment and ESPN businesses, including the different areas within Streaming, and develop advanced business and financial modelling skills through a range of projects. The Senior Analyst will also collaborate effectively with teams and colleagues at all levels across EMEA and the US, build a broad internal network, and gain experience presenting and discussing results with senior leaders.

As a result, the Senior Analyst will support on high 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.

This role will be based in our London Hammersmith office, 4 days a week, with either a Monday or Friday working from home.

You'll join a team grounded in our Disney values: acting with Integrity, welcoming everyone through Inclusion, embracing boundless Creativity, working together through Collaboration, and caring deeply for our Community. These values shape how we work and how we support one another every day.
