Senior Investment Analyst
Parrot AnalyticsJob Description
About Parrot Analytics
Parrot Analytics is the global authority on media and entertainment intelligence, providing the strategic decision support that the world’s leading studios, producers, streamers, investors, and government bodies rely on to de-risk content investment and maximize returns.
Trusted across the full media economy — from studios and streaming platforms to film funds, sports leagues, and government bodies — Parrot Analytics informs capital allocation, acquisitions, programming strategy, and IP valuation at the highest levels of the industry.
By measuring the demand and preferences of more than 2 billion audiences worldwide, Parrot Analytics’ AI platform quantifies the value of content, talent, franchises, and sports rights — enabling partners to forecast revenue, assess risk, optimize portfolio strategy, and drive more predictable success.
About the Role
The global entertainment industry invests hundreds of billions of dollars into film and television content every year. Yet investment decisions are still largely made using fragmented market signals, limited financial modelling, and incomplete audience insight.
Parrot Analytics is building a new analytical layer for the industry — combining the world’s largest dataset on global audience demand with structured financial modelling to help studios, investors, and funds make more disciplined content investment decisions.
We are seeking a Senior Investment Analyst to lead the development of financial models used to evaluate film and television projects. This role sits at the intersection of entertainment economics, investment analysis, and data science, translating audience demand signals, project budgets, and distribution assumptions into structured financial forecasts and investment insights.
The successful candidate will play a key role in helping investors understand the risk and return profile of content investments before capital is committed.
Build Investment Models for Film & Television Projects
- Develop sophisticated financial models that evaluate the commercial performance of film and television projects across multiple distribution windows.
- Models will incorporate production budgets and cost structures, financing structures and investor positions, distribution revenue streams across global markets and investor return scenarios and capital recovery timelines.
- Revenue modelling will consider multiple distribution pathways including theatrical, SVOD, AVOD, FAST, Pay TV, and international licensing.
- Leverage Parrot Analytics’ global dataset on audience demand and content valuation to inform revenue assumptions within financial models.
- Develop structured approaches to translating audience demand signals and valuation into realistic commercial scenarios, benchmarking projects against comparable titles across genres, markets, and platforms.
Quantify Investment Risk
- Evaluate projects through structured scenario modelling that assesses downside risk and capital exposure, break-even performance thresholds and investor return scenarios under different market conditions
- Conduct sensitivity analysis across key variables including budget changes, distribution outcomes, and shifts in audience demand.
Support Investment Decision-Making
- Produce financial analyses used by funds, studios, and investors evaluating content opportunities.
- Translate complex financial models into clear insights that help decision-makers understand the economic implications of project budgets, distribution strategies, and market positioning.
Develop Industry-Leading Modelling Frameworks
- Help design the financial modelling frameworks used to evaluate film and television investments using Parrot Analytics’ data.
- The goal is to build repeatable analytical tools that allow projects to be evaluated with institutional investment discipline, enabling more structured decision-making across the industry.
