About The Role

• Owning complex financial modelling for new products, with a focus on pricing, business models, and high-value deals

• Translating complex data and detail into clear strategic decisions and outcomes

• Building deep cross-functional relationships and presenting strategy to leadership

• Supporting our accountancy firm and internal ops team with ongoing activities and finance best practice

• Becoming the key finance stakeholder and expert on how payments, pricing, tax and finances are handled and processed across Ticket Tailor

This position is available full-time or part-time at four days per week with a salary banding of £90,000 - £110,000 as full-time or pro-rata £72,000 - £88,000 for 4 days per week + profit share.

What you’ll be doing in the role

Modelling and pricing ownership of new initiatives

• Own complex modelling and pricing for our newest initiatives, helping ensure successful product launches while maintaining our long-term financial goals and overall profitability

• Provide ongoing budgeting, modelling, and reconciliation of new business models

• Lead strategic negotiation and financial modelling for high-value client deals

• Be the in-house expert on commercial decisions relating to payment processing (e.g. Stripe or similar)

• Support our accountancy firm and internal ops team with finance activities - implementing opportunistic best practice and process improvement

About you

To succeed in this role, you'll demonstrate:

• Relevant commercial success: experience in Financial Planning and Accounting (FP&A), Strategy, pricing, or another commercially analytical field, where you’ve delivered meaningful and quantifiable outcomes, resulting in commercial success

• Industry know-how: ideally you bring experience in the payments sector as that will be a key focus of the role, but experience at a scaled ticketing platform, ecommerce brand or marketplace will also be highly relevant.

• An AI enabled analytics pro: comfortable building reports and dashboards yourself, ideally with a working knowledge of SQL, Google Data Studios and experience with visualisation tools such as Looker or Tableau. You're proactive with incorporating AI into how you work - using it to speed up analysis, modelling, and reporting.

• Commercially and strategically minded: a strong balance of natural commercial instincts with rigorous attention to detail

• Comfortable with complexity: able to move between granular detail and clear strategic recommendations

• Hands-on and low-ego: no task too big or too small - you're happy to roll up your sleeves and thrive in a flat structure where you're as comfortable executing a process, as you are running a strategic workshop with the leadership team

At Ticket Tailor, we’re passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive environment where people can thrive, be inspired, and feel comfortable to be themselves.

As a Certified B-Corp, we lead from the front, and with purpose, to disrupt the ticketing industry while ensuring we accommodate and celebrate people of all backgrounds along the way.

A note on using AI in your application

You’re welcome to use AI to help structure, refine or proofread your answers. However, your responses should accurately reflect your own skills, experience and achievements.

If you’re shortlisted, you should be prepared to discuss and expand on your responses during the interview.

Bear in mind that hiring teams read a large number of applications. Responses that rely heavily on AI can sometimes feel generic, so taking the time to make your application personal and specific will help it stand out.
