What We Need:

We are looking for a strategic thinker who can not only build complex financial models but can communicate findings clearly and effectively to a broad range of audience. On any given day, you may be drafting a business case for new opportunities, building a complex financial model with dozens of scenarios, formulating key insights from Tableau / SQL, or presenting key findings to the executive team at 2K or Take Two.

The Sr. Business Analyst will lead the development of financial models that will help shape the strategic direction of NBA 2K. The successful candidate must be highly analytical and detail oriented, demonstrate expertise in developing complex financial models, and provide succinct and compelling analysis to inform a wide range of business decisions.

Responsibilities include:

• Build dynamic, scalable financial models to identify and quantify key risks and opportunities
• Draft compelling business cases with thoughtful consideration of both the growth and the profitability of our business
• Prepare and verify data for inclusion in reports, presentations, financial models, or business cases
• Present findings and recommendations to cross-functional teams / leaders and solicitate feedback from a broad audience (e.g. Marketing, Analytics, Finance, Partnerships)

• Advanced Excel and financial modeling experience with the ability to build dynamic / scalable models that can be easily understood by leadership and be adjusted on the fly
• Extremely high level of detail with a personal interest / passion for perfecting the overall “look and feel” of a financial model or a business case deck; willingness to work in the weeds but never lose sight of the forest
• Desire to run and own projects end-to-end: from conception of a new opportunity, pulling data to support a hypothesis, building a financial model, drafting a presentation, to presenting the idea to leadership and “whipping” up support
• Ability to navigate through a high level of ambiguity and deliver high quality models / business cases with limited guidance or direction
• Ability to demonstrate trustworthiness and integrity with how you work with others and in the quality and accuracy of your work
• Strong understanding of, or interest in learning, the different revenue models utilized by entertainment companies to maximize the value of their IP through the passage of time
• Possess a strong passion for the NBA and the video game industry, or have the desire to quickly learn about both
• Proficiency in SQL and Tableau, or the desire / ability to learn quickly
