Analyst, Revenue Planning and Performance Analytics
About this role
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.
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.
THE CHALLENGE
• 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. • 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
YOUR PROFILE
• 2-5 years in a multidisciplinary finance, analytics, and/or consulting role. • We seek proficiency in either commercial finance or commercial analytics. • Relevant bachelor’s degree, master’s preferred. • SQL, Power BI / Tableau, and AI agents knowledge is essential. Experience with Python or n8n/workflow automation is highly valued. • An "accountability" mindset - you value the strength of a plan over the speed of its delivery. • 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.
