Job Description:

Attila Glatz Concert Productions, a 30-year old established concert producer and promoter with a fully remote office structure, is seeking a detail-oriented, experienced financial professional to join its finance department to manage the financial efficiency of the organization's concerts.

You will be someone excited by data. As the record-keeper of our concert ticket counts, and the person inputting and coding all performance-related expenses day-to-day, you will have real-time insight into which performances might need an extra allocation of marketing dollars, and which performances might need their budgets to be rethought if artistic fees are unexpectedly higher, etc. You will be a critical thinker who thrives equally in details and big-picture thinking.
