Royalty Data Analyst

London based - 4 days in the office

Permanent

£60,000 - £70,000


A global entertainment business is looking to hire a Royalty Data Analyst to join a growing analytics function supporting catalogue performance and revenue assurance.


The business is looking for an analyst with strong judgement and commercial curiosity who can independently interpret royalty data, form a clear point of view, and explain what the numbers actually mean.


You will be responsible for understanding why income is under or over performing, comparing expectations versus actuals, identifying risks or gaps early, and translating complex and often imperfect royalty data into clear, decision ready insights for non technical stakeholders.


The role

Working closely with publishing, label and finance teams, you will act as the analytical owner of royalty performance across the catalogue.

Key responsibilities include:

• Interpreting royalty income data to understand performance trends, anomalies and movements

• Explaining what is happening, why it is happening, and what action is required

• Assessing expected versus actual income and identifying gaps, risks or under performance

• Running revenue assurance and data quality checks to detect issues early

• Building reporting views that support interpretation rather than just visibility

• Partnering with finance teams to support accruals and commercial forecasting

• Improving SQL logic, data flows and reporting processes over time



What they are looking for

• Around 3 to 5 years experience in data analysis, royalty analysis, revenue assurance or a related analytics role

• Background in music, media, rights, royalties or a comparable data heavy commercial environment

• Strong analytical reasoning and ability to move from raw data to insight

• Comfortable working with incomplete or imperfect datasets

• Confident forming and defending an analytical point of view

• Experience using SQL and at least 1 BI or reporting tool such as Tableau or Power BI

• Ability to communicate complex findings clearly to non technical stakeholders

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
