Job Summary:
JOB DESCRIPTION - Lead Analyst - Technology Strategy, Planning & Risk
Location: Chicago, California, New York, Washington
Division: Ticketmaster NA
Line Manager: Senior Director - Technology Strategy
Contract Terms: Full Time
THE JOBWe're looking for a Lead Analyst who can operate at the intersection of financial rigor and strategic thinking - someone who's equally comfortable building a capacity model and presenting its implications to a Senior Director or engineering lead.
Day to day, you'll support the tech division P&L, manage KPI and OKR tracking for our CTO's monthly reporting, and lead capacity planning across engineering teams. But the more interesting work is what sits underneath that: diagnosing why a division is off-plan, modeling the trade-offs of a platform modernization, or figuring out how to structure a team differently to unlock more value.
Over the next year, a meaningful part of this role will be helping drive our team's adoption of AI - identifying the right tooling, building the internal case for it, and working across stakeholders to make it stick. That's not a side project; it's a priority.
You'll report to a Senior Director and work across a wide range of stakeholders - engineering leads, Finance, HR, and PMO. You won't always be the loudest voice in the room, but your analysis will shape what decisions get made.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING- Support tech division P&L management and monthly KPI reporting for the CTO - keeping it accurate, relevant, and actionable
- Support and sometimes lead strategic initiatives: platform modernization, resourcing models, outsourcing analysis, market environment assessments
- Drive our team's adoption of AI tooling and help build the internal frameworks to evaluate and implement it
- Play a central role in the annual budget cycle and quarterly planning process
- Build stronger working relationships between SP&R and Finance, HR, and PMO - acting as a consistent, credible point of contact
- Translate technical priorities into business language and business strategy into terms engineering teams can act on
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (or TECHNICAL SKILLS)- 5+ years in strategy, BizOps, FP&A, or management consulting - ideally with meaningful exposure to a technology organization
- Strong financial modeling and data analysis skills; advanced Excel is a given
- Experience with capacity planning or resource allocation in a scaled environment
- A track record of influencing decisions without direct authority
- Genuine comfort with ambiguity - this team moves fast and the problems don't always come pre-defined
- Clear, confident communication across audiences; you can write a tight exec summary and then go explain the same thing to an engineering lead
- Interest in how AI is changing the way strategy and planning teams operate - curiosity counts here even if direct experience is limited
YOU (BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS)This isn't a pure reporting role, and it isn't a role where analysis sits in a deck and waits to be acted on. The work has real stakes and real visibility. If you want a defined lane, this probably isn't it. If you want to build something and see it matter, it might be exactly right.
