Requirements
We are looking to hire a Commercial Analyst to join our Rights Management Division in Melbourne. In this role you will research and identify brands for potential sales opportunities and formulate an approach strategy. These brands you identify may eventually become sponsors of some of the greatest sports rights holders globally!
Responsibilities may include:

- Collecting and analysing data to support sales conversations and articulate our propositions

- Supporting on strategic projects to help shape Rights Holders' sponsorship programmes
If the above sounds exciting, but something you've never done before, you are in the right place! All of these tasks can be learned on the job. There is no set-profile for an analyst, however, if you have these attributes, you'd likely make a great Two Circler:
- Growth mindset, seeking out feedback and always being willing to learn
- Diligent, client-centric, attention to detail
- Strong work ethic evidenced in both academic and extracurricular activity
- A commercial understanding of what businesses need to be successful in achieving their goals
- Proactive with a great self-starting attitude - able to undertake a task on your own initiative
- Research oriented individual with a passion for identifying trends
- Some experience of Excel and basic financial modelling understanding
- Being values-led, and a respectful and approachable team player
Though these are the basics written down, we will principally be recruiting for energy, values and commitment – both to Two Circles and to your career. Even if you feel you don’t tick 100% of the boxes but feel you could bring value to the role, we’d still love to hear from you!
