About The Position

The Finance Leadership Development Program turns ambitious, innovative Analysts into Skydance’s next generation of Finance leaders. Starting summer 2027, you’ll join as a full-time employee for a two-year program, rotating through three eight-month assignments across our Finance organization — learning the business from the inside, building real financial and leadership skills, and pitching your own capstone project directly to company leadership. A dedicated mentor is with you every step of the way.

Requirements

• Proper work authorization is required to be employed within the United States for the full length of the program (July 2027-July 2029).

• Strong proficiency in Excel (formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP’s, macros, etc.)
• Experience in finance or accounting

Responsibilities

• Craft and maintain complex financial models that shape real budgeting, forecasting, and expense optimization across the business
• Turn data into direction — translate KPIs and core business metrics into analyses leadership will use to drive decisions
• Identify a real business problem, build a solution, and pitch it directly to company leadership — a chance most analysts don’t get until years into their career
• Own real, high-impact work from day one — guided by your manager and a dedicated mentor invested in your growth
• Receive comprehensive AI training, including in-depth sessions on how and when to use finance and other enterprise-wide tools
• Sharpen your leadership edge through recurring feedback, a day shadowing an executive, and dedicated leadership training
• Own critical pieces of the monthly and quarterly close — accruals, reconciliation, and variance analysis that keep the business accurate
• Dive into the general ledger and turn raw numbers into clear, actionable reports
• Run the quarterly payment process end-to-end
• Partner directly with finance, accounting, and business leaders — your insight helps shape how the business plans ahead
• Take on ad hoc, high-visibility requests that put your problem-solving in front of the people who matter
• Build a cross-functional network of relationships that will follow you for the rest of your career

• Attractive compensation and comprehensive benefits packages.
• Generous paid time off.
• Complimentary subscriptions to HBO Max, Paramount+, and other Skydance streaming services and digital news products.
