Associate, Finance & Operations
About The Position
UTA seeks an Associate, Finance & Operations to join UTA Advisory in New York. This team partners with global brands — Delta Air Lines, General Motors, Lyft, and LinkedIn, among others — to develop initiatives that help them stand out across entertainment and culture. The Associate is the connective tissue of this team’s day-to-day operations, spanning financial ops, project and staffing ops, and systems work across Airtable, Salesforce, Hive, and AI platforms. The remit is two-sided: run today’s workflows with precision, and convert manual work into automated, repeatable processes that scale. This is a builder’s role with real room to grow — as volume increases, the Associate is expected to move from executing tasks to owning workstreams, designing how work gets done, and presenting plans directly to leadership in the context of strategic operations and financial excellence.
