Driving profitable growth through commercial intelligence, structural rigor & strategic steering

About Us

As the market leader in sports technology, Sportradar (NASDAQ: SRAD) is positioned at the center of the sports ecosystem. Our broader Financial Planning & Analysis organization plays a critical role in delivering extraordinary growth; we’re targeting a 15% CAGR for revenue while consistently expanding margin and cash conversion. In an industry where AI is redefining fan engagement, our finance leaders must be as sophisticated as our technology: combining financial discipline with commercial acumen and advanced analytics to unlock opportunities across a market growing at double-digit percent annually.

THE CHALLANGE

Reporting to the VP of Revenue Performance & Planning, you are the primary performance auditor of commercial outcomes. You don't just report numbers; you interrogate them and recommend the way forward to maximize value. Your mission is to identify the "why" behind performance trends that you package to a compelling story to drive a business decision. You provide the critical challenge required for driving revenue and margin, guiding business counterparts through a transformative planning process that prioritizes drivers over pure outcomes.

• Proactive revenue performance analysis: move past outcomes to identify the specific revenue drivers (e.g., usage, churn, pricing, market) that management must focus on.
• Revenue forecast pressure-testing: Interrogate the inputs that feed our global P&L to ensure every forecast is achievable and rooted in actionable drivers.
• Logic refinement: Identify and dismantle broken assumptions in commercial plans and rebuild them into actionable, robust frameworks.
• Causal synthesis: Translate complex technical and commercial data into clear, authoritative narratives for senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Driver autopsy: Conduct deep-dives into revenue beats or misses to distinguish between one-time windfalls and core structural trends.
• Planning guidance: Lead commercial counterparts through the forecasting and budgeting process to ensure submissions are robust and logically sound.
• Business modeling: Create elegant solutions for complex business topics like pricing elasticity and market entry costs.
• Build automated revenue reporting using advanced analytical and reporting tools on top of data warehouse and billing data sets to steer commercial decision making

 

About You

You ask smart questions and refuse to accept surface-level explanations. You enable business success by providing the "so-what" that others miss. You are a "fixer" who enjoys the challenge of untangling messy data problems to find a clear path forward.

What we're looking for

• Experience: 5-8 years in a multidisciplinary finance, analytics, and/or consulting role.
• Archetype: We seek high proficiency in either commercial finance or commercial analytics.
• Education: MBA or relevant master’s degree preferred.
• Technical requirement: SQL, Power BI / Tableau, and AI agents knowledge is essential. Experience with Python or n8n/workflow automation is highly valued.
• Mindset: An "accountability" mindset - you value the strength of a plan over the speed of its delivery.
