RUN invests in independent artists and music catalogues, combining financial analysis, technology and music industry expertise. With teams in Stockholm and Los Angeles, we help artists access capital through deals built around their music.
We’re looking for an Investment Analyst who combines strong financial understanding with hands-on software development skills to evaluate opportunities, structure deals and improve the tools behind our investment decisions.
About the role
You’ll own the analytical process from receiving royalty statements to recommending an offer. You’ll investigate the data, understand catalogue performance, build and assess forecasts, and recommend the deal structure and economics that best fit each opportunity.
Financial judgement is central to the role. You’ll need to understand cash flows, valuation, investment returns and risk, challenge assumptions, and translate your analysis into a clear commercial recommendation.
You’ll also use SQL and Python to investigate underlying data, validate model outputs and improve analytical workflows within our internal investment platform.
Alongside individual deals, you’ll support the CFO with portfolio analysis, assessing how potential investments affect returns, concentration and diversification.
The role sits within Finance and is part of the Analyst team; you'll report to the CFO and collaborate closely with the Deal Team, Tech, and Artist Success.
What you’ll do
- Own deal analysis: Organize and validate royalty statements and supporting information, resolve inconsistencies, and ensure the analysis covers the correct catalogue and rights.
- Forecast and value opportunities: Analyze historical performance, assess cash flows and investment returns, and run forecasts, valuations and P&Ls using RUN’s models and benchmarks.
- Recommend deal structures: Compare terms and economics, test assumptions and downside scenarios, and propose the best offer or set of offers with a clear explanation of the risks and expected returns.
- Work with data and code: Use SQL and Python to query underlying data, trace discrepancies, validate calculations and automate recurring analysis.
- Keep opportunities moving: Identify blockers, coordinate with the relevant teams, and take responsibility for progressing deals from submission to recommendation.
- Support portfolio decisions: Assess potential acquisitions against the existing portfolio and help the CFO evaluate capital allocation, concentration and risk-return characteristics.
- Improve our tools and processes: Work with Tech to improve statement processing, forecasting, valuation tools and deal workflows.
What you’ll bring
- Strong financial literacy and analytical judgement. You understand financial statements, cash-flow forecasting, valuation and investment return metrics, including IRR, multiples and discounted cash flow. You can challenge assumptions and explain what makes an investment attractive.
- Strong software development skills, including fluency in SQL and Python. You can independently write, debug and maintain code, work with complex datasets, and investigate how data moves through a system.
- Practical experience using AI tools for coding, data analysis or workflow automation, and a keen interest in exploring new applications while critically evaluating their outputs.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, including experience building and reviewing financial models.
- Confidence reading and understanding an existing codebase, using Git and collaborating on code changes.
- A background in finance, economics, computer science, engineering or another analytical field, supported by practical financial and programming skills.
- A structured approach and the curiosity to investigate numbers that don’t look right.
- The ability to turn complex analysis into clear, commercially sound recommendations.
- Ownership, initiative and a collaborative approach to solving problems across teams.
- An interest in music, royalties and the economics behind an artist’s catalogue. Previous music industry experience is welcome, but not essential.
What you’ll get
A role with direct responsibility for work that shapes investment decisions and improves the systems behind them. You’ll work closely with the CFO and colleagues across finance, technology and music, building experience in individual deal underwriting, portfolio analysis and the development of investment tools.
