Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses:
Curiosity: We do our best work when we’re immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future.
Collaboration: Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans.
Commitment: We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we’re committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises.
WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds – an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.
A little bit about our team:
The Financial Analysis & Cash Forecasting team is a high-visibility group responsible for managing WMG’s global liquidity story. We partner across all divisions to provide critical insight into cash flow, working capital efficiency, and liquidity management. We are the bridge between operational OIBDA and actual cash generation.
Your role:
This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role for a proactive professional who thrives on "getting things done". While you will directly manage one direct report, your success depends on your ability to influence and drive deliverables from senior finance leaders across 30+ global territories.
You aren't just reviewing spreadsheets; you are the architect of our cash story. You will oversee the end-to-end global cash forecasting process—from weekly short-term liquidity updates to the annual cash budget—ensuring that every dollar is accounted for and variances are clearly explained to the CFO and Board of Directors. The position will report to the SVP, FP&A.
Here you’ll get to:
Drive Global Deliverables: Coordinate the submission and consolidation of worldwide monthly cash forecasts and annual cash budgets, holding regional CFOs and controllers accountable for deadlines and accuracy.
Lead Regional Cost Projections: Directly manage certain regional cost projections, coordinating closely with Shared Services teams to incorporate their inputs and ensure a comprehensive view of regional spend.
Master the Cash Story: Prepare the consolidated cash budget package and board-level presentations, providing executive management with clear insight into cash variances versus prior forecasts.
Support Compliance & IR: Take ownership of debt covenant compliance calculations and provide critical data support for External Reporting and Investor Relations.
Optimize Working Capital: Partner with local finance and shared services teams to identify "quick wins" and long-term process improvements to improve liquidity and over-deliver on budget targets.
Manage Liquidity: Partner closely with Treasury to monitor daily US liquidity and provide rigorous variance analysis for weekly ending cash balances versus forecasts.
Bridge the Gap: Coordinate with the external reporting group to reconcile Free Cash Flow to the SEC cash flow statement and provide the Audit Committee with a clear link between OIBDA and cash generation.
Strategic Planning: Analyze global cash needs to help determine the timing of debt repayments or potential dividends.
About you:
Continuous Improvement Mindset: You are someone who is always thinking of how to make things better, more efficient, and more accurate. You don't just follow the existing process; you look for ways to sharpen it.
The "Accountable Partner": You have an established record of managing multiple competing priorities and meeting tight deadlines under pressure.
Influencer without Authority: You can effectively "nudge" and influence senior-level management to ensure global compliance with cash forecasting cycles.
Execution-Focused: You are a proactive problem solver who is just as comfortable building a complex model in Excel as you are presenting its findings to the CFO.
Detail-Obsessed: You have superior organizational skills and a deep understanding of cash flow concepts and working capital management.
Global Communicator: You possess excellent written and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex financial elements in a concise, positive manner across diverse cultures and time zones.
We’d love it if you also had:
Education: A Bachelor’s Degree (BA/BS) in Finance, Accounting, or Economics is required.
Experience: 10+ years of financial experience, specifically in cash forecasting and liquidity management is a plus.
Corporate Background: Experience in a large, multi-national corporate environment.
Technical Skills: Deep experience in forecasting and modeling; specific experience in cash forecasting is a significant plus.
Certification: CPA or MBA is preferred.
