Description
Join our Group Finance Control team as our new Finance Manager! You'll own and improve processes and systems that ensure revenue and costs are reported and accounted for accurately across DAZN’s global portfolio, supporting both management and statutory reporting.
Working as a consultative business partner to the in-market Commercial Finance teams and the wider business, you'll drive revenue and cost accounting and assurance, maintain a rigorous and compliant control environment, ensure revenue and costs are recognised correctly in line with the relevant accounting standards, and support confident decision-making across Finance and the commercial business as the group continues to scale globally.
A key part of this role is working closely with our Shared Service Centre. Directing and reviewing the relevant work of the SSC revenue and cost teams, setting the standard for accurate, timely management and statutory reporting and holding them to account for delivering it.
This will be based in our Leeds office (White Rose), mostly on site.

- Own revenue and cost elements of the month-end close, ensuring journals, accruals and reporting are completed accurately and to deadline each period.
- Direct and review the work of our SSC and cost teams to deliver timely, accurate and comprehensive management and statutory accounts.
- Review balance sheet reconciliations for revenue and cost accounts, ensuring balances are understood, substantiated and free from risk.
- Ensure revenue and costs are recognised correctly in line with the relevant accounting standards (for e.g. IFRS 15), acting as a point of reference for technical accounting questions in your area.
- Ensure all BAU processes are meticulously documented to identify potential financial risks.
- Participate in various project initiatives to optimise existing finance workflows and processes.
- Act as a key point of contact for the annual external audit of revenue and costs, providing the support and documentation needed to ensure a smooth and successful process.
- Collaborate with various departments on new commercial initiatives, defining finance requirements and ensuring these are successfully transitioned to Finance BAU.
