Senior Finance Director (Strategy & Corporate Development) | Global Music Business | London/Hybrid
Harmonic are delighted to be working with a well-established, internationally operating music business with a strong brand and a loyal global audience. The organisation is looking for a Senior Finance Director (Strategy & Corporate Development) to join their finance team in a newly created role.
The Role
This is a strategic finance position with real breadth and genuine ownership. While it sits within the corporate finance function, the scope leans firmly toward corporate development and strategic finance. Debt raising, valuation and capital structure work sit at the heart of the role: you will support refinancing transactions and credit facility negotiations, own capital structure planning, and lead the valuation and financial evaluation of strategic growth initiatives.
The technical bar is high. You will build and own complex multi-year financial models from scratch, and you will be trusted to run them autonomously: leading budgeting and reforecasting across all business units, then taking your analysis directly to the C-suite and board without layers of review above you. This is a role for someone who can do the work end to end, from model build through to presenting the story to the people making the decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also lead and develop a small, capable team based internationally, while managing banking relationships including covenant reporting.
