What We’re Looking For
Essential Skills and Experience:

• Solid experience in transactional finance, ideally within a small to medium-sized business.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel.
• A passion for film, TV, or the creative industries.
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Desirable:
