About The Role:

The Finance team is seeking a Finance Manager to lead and enhance the finance function within the Secret Group. Collectively, Secret Cinema, Studio Secret Cinema, and TodayTix Live are the live production arm of TodayTix Group. Our projects inspire Collective Effervescence in live audiences. Secret Cinema shows are immersive riffs on popular culture, inviting audiences to experience the cinematic and forget the real world - and themselves.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to experience almost all areas of finance and contribute to enhancing the maturity of the finance function across the group. Our Finance team is dedicated to driving financial excellence and supporting the growth of innovative live entertainment experiences. If this resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you!
