Business Analyst

WELCOME TO UTOPIA

Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disparate. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient systems of the past. At Utopia we believe there is a better way. Which is why today we are setting out to transform the entire industry; creating new revenue streams, consolidating the data and decluttering the admin. Unlocking the industry’s full potential by unifying it all in one truly holistic space. Some might call that a Utopia.

Funnily enough, so do we. Welcome to Utopia. Where music lives.

WHAT UTOPIANS DO

The open secret is that the music industry is struggling with the very basics of music accounting: What was played, when and where? Who should get paid and how much?

Utopia Music is bridging the data gap by connecting global consumption, accurate metadata, and fast payments to an industry-wide trust platform. Our goal is to unlock creative value and enable Fair Pay For Every Play to make a better world for Music. The solutions we offer do not threaten to usurp the role of industry incumbents - it is about bringing transparency in the industry and supporting efficient royalty collection for all.

THE ROLE

As a Business Analyst in the Strategy team at Utopia Music your everyday tasks will vary greatly. The Strategy team sits at the heart of Utopia Music and it is our job to ensure that all our great business units are aligned with each other and get the help they need to excel. This is done through analysing and understanding the music industry and relating this to Utopia Music’s offerings to ensure that we are on track, or evaluate opportunities for growth and improvement.

Improvement and growth can be achieved through either a focused effort internally, or through acquisitions of assets or companies - both are the responsibility of the strategy team to identify. Thus, as a Business Analyst, it is important to be a fast learner, think creatively (we are, after all, changing an entire industry!), be meticulous, and have a keen eye for numbers.
