The posting

At Warner Music Group, we’re a global collective of music makers and music lovers, tech innovators and inspired entrepreneurs, game-changing creatives and passionate team members. Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses:

  • Curiosity: We do our best work when we’re immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future.
  • Collaboration: Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans.
  • Commitment: We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we’re committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises.

WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.

Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds – an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.

Job Title: Finance Manager

A little bit about our team:

In our team we deal with the accounting for several of our central entities. Reporting to the Director and within a team of 10, you’ll be taking ownership of the management and statutory reporting for several key entities and ensure we comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Why this could be your next big break:

A key member of the finance team, the role works closely with international business finance, London-based International business units and the WMG Corporate office, based in New York. Your main activities will include accounting for international business.

Here you'll get to:

Financial Reporting & Digital Accounting

  • Drive month-end excellence: Review and approve monthly journals and balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and efficiency.
  • Deliver critical reporting: Complete quarterly and annual supplemental schedules for submission and review by management and Corporate Finance in the US.
  • Manage statutory compliance: Contribute to the production of the Financial Statements and lead the resolution of external audit queries.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Build and mentor a high-performing team: Support, manage, and develop a team of 3 part-qualified accountants.
  • Partner across the global business: Collaborate closely with Legal, Tax, Treasury, Corporate Finance, and our international labels within Recorded Music.

Transformation & Process Improvement

  • Drive systems innovation: Assist with our ongoing global ERP implementation (transitioning to SAP S/4HANA), acting as a key liaison with the transformation team.
  • Strengthen our financial framework: Develop, implement, and improve controls and processes to ensure robust SOX compliance.
  • Solve complex legacy challenges: Partner with our in-house project team to resolve legacy accounting issues, ultimately improving the clarity and accuracy of management accounts.

About you:

  • Qualified Professional: You are a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with at least 1–2 years of post-qualified experience (PQE) working directly in industry.
  • Industry Enthusiast: Previous experience in the music, media, or wider entertainment industry is highly preferred. You understand the fast-paced nature of the business and the complexities of digital revenue.
  • Systems Savvy: You have strong financial systems experience. Familiarity with SAP (specifically S/4HANA) and Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) will be a significant advantage, especially as we navigate our ERP transition.
  • Natural Leader: You have a proven ability (or strong desire) to manage, mentor, and develop junior team members.
  • Global Communicator: You possess excellent interpersonal skills, with the confidence to collaborate with international stakeholders, cross-functional departments, and US corporate teams.
  • Process-Driven Problem Solver: You have a keen eye for detail, a solid understanding of financial controls (SOX), and a proactive approach to untangling complex legacy data and improving processes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
