Company mission
To empower a diverse range of event creators by making it easy and affordable to sell tickets online.
Role
Who you are
- Relevant commercial success: experience in Financial Planning and Accounting (FP&A), Strategy, pricing, or another commercially analytical field, where you’ve delivered meaningful and quantifiable outcomes, resulting in commercial success
- Industry know-how: ideally you bring experience in the payments sector as that will be a key focus of the role, but experience at a scaled ticketing platform, ecommerce brand or marketplace will also be highly relevant
- An AI enabled analytics pro: comfortable building reports and dashboards yourself, ideally with a working knowledge of SQL, Google Data Studios and experience with visualisation tools such as Looker or Tableau. You're proactive with incorporating AI into how you work - using it to speed up analysis, modelling, and reporting
- Commercially and strategically minded: a strong balance of natural commercial instincts with rigorous attention to detail
- Comfortable with complexity: able to move between granular detail and clear strategic recommendations
- Hands-on and low-ego: no task too big or too small - you're happy to roll up your sleeves and thrive in a flat structure where you're as comfortable executing a process, as you are running a strategic workshop with the leadership team

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Ticket Tailor is a ticketing platform that offers event organisers a simple way to manage event registration and sell tickets online. The platform includes features beyond ticket selling, for example allowing ticket sellers to customise the buying experience to match their website, accept payments directly to their account, and own their customer data.
As opposed to other similar platforms, Ticket Tailor doesn’t take a percentage of the ticket price. Instead, it offers flexible payment plans with no contracts. Its commitment to support event creators is shown by its free offering for free events, and its deals that give 50% off for charities, and 20% off for B-corps and PTAs.
Ticket Tailor prides itself on being completely independent, with no investors, and boasts B Corp certification since May 2022. Since launch, it has helped promoters and venues sell over 20 million tickets across the globe, being used by thousands of event organisers all around the world.
