About the Role
Be part of a finance team driving the growth of one of the world’s leading sports streaming platforms. At DAZN, finance sits at the center of strategic decision-making - shaping how we invest, price, and grow in every market. This is the chance to own that agenda for an entire market, building the commercial finance function for DAZN Taiwan from the ground up and partnering the local leadership team on the decisions that drive the business. It’s a role for someone who thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment - where commercial acumen, financial rigor, and a hands-on, build-it mindset go hand in hand.
Responsibilities
- Own the Taiwan P&L, budget, and reforecasts - turning performance into clear insight on what’s working, what isn’t, and where to act.
- Act as the go-to finance partner for the Taiwan MD and leadership, shaping commercial decisions with a clear point of view rather than just numbers.
- Own cash and working capital - a priority in a growing business with high fixed costs - managing liquidity, cash-flow forecasting, and the levers that protect it.
- Build out Taiwan’s commercial finance function, putting in the reporting, processes, and controls a scaling business needs.
- Drive the commercial decisions - modelling new distribution deals, valuing rights opportunities, and shaping pricing and content strategy with leadership.
- Own the subscription revenue plan - building the forecast from subscribers, churn, pricing, and ARPU - and partner marketing on pricing and promotions.
- Forecast advertising revenue across all inventory, keep a live view of booked and pipeline sales, and produce KPI reporting by industry, client, and channel.
- Own the Taiwan cost base - budgeting across teams, projects, and content, challenging spend, and judging whether content and production spend earns its keep.
- Help drive the move from Xero to Oracle, keeping reporting accurate and uninterrupted through the change.
- Act as the local point of contact for tax and audit, working with external advisers and keeping the business compliant.
Requirements
- Solid experience in a finance role combining accounting and commercial finance - comfortable with month-end and cash management as well as forecasting, modelling, and partnering the business.
- Experience setting up or strengthening a finance function - putting in reporting, processes, and controls.
- Experience managing a cost base, not just reporting on it; experience of a finance transformation or system migration is a strong advantage.
- A track record of working directly with senior leadership, comfortable influencing decisions at MD or C-suite level.
- Strong financial modelling and analytical skills with advanced Excel; BI tools such as Looker are an advantage.
- Sound grasp of local statutory compliance, comfortable acting as the point of contact for tax and audit.
- Experience in media, technology, digital advertising, or a fast-growth consumer business preferred but not essential.
- Mandarin and English at business level are required.
