The Commercial Analyst – CEO Office is a high-exposure, fast-paced role working directly alongside DAZN’s CEO.

- CEO Priorities & Execution – Own follow-ups on key CEO-led initiatives, ensuring alignment, accountability, and timely delivery of priorities across DAZN.
- Industry Intelligence & Insights – Stay ahead of trends in sports, media, and rights. Analyse competitor moves, emerging technologies, and business opportunities to provide sharp insights.
- Board & Strategy Materials – Support the preparation of Board papers, investor updates, and strategic presentations, simplifying complex information into executive-ready outputs.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration & Travel – Work closely with senior stakeholders, ensuring CEO priorities are executed across multiple functions. Travel internationally with the CEO as required.
What we’re looking for:
- Passion for sports and deep understanding of the sports media and rights ecosystem
- Strong financial modelling, data analysis, and commercial thinking, with the ability to connect insights to business impact
- Ability to progress work independently, operate under pressure, and adapt to shifting priorities
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced, demanding environment, handling ambiguity and complexity with confidence
- Experience interacting with senior leaders, with the ability to synthesize complex insights into clear, concise recommendations
- 3-7 years' experience in consulting, media/banking analyst roles, private equity, corporate development, strategy, or commercial finance
- Strong exposure to sports, media, and entertainment industries
- Comfortable working in a high-stakes, entrepreneurial environment with a fast-moving CEO
- Willingness to travel internationally and be highly available when needed
