About The Position

At Sony Pictures Entertainment, we create and deepen Fandom for audiences to build a connection that lasts a lifetime. Across our film and television portfolio, we meet audiences where they are — driving awareness, engagement, and long-term affinity across platforms. We’re seeking a solutions-oriented Senior Financial Business Analyst to help scale the operations behind our growing network of channels and pages across YouTube, Meta, TikTok, and emerging platforms. This role brings financial rigor and strategic insight to a creative, fast-moving digital business.

You’ll join a nimble content programming team focused on driving commercial and audience growth across a global network. We move quickly, think strategically, and care deeply about film, television, and what’s next for digital video.
