About the Opportunity
Liberty Global is pursuing ambitious growth, building upon our investments in media, content, and tech. We're seeking someone to join our team who can help us assess market sectors, identify opportunities, and move fast.
This isn't a traditional strategy role. We're looking for someone who combines rigorous analytical skills with operational experience in digital-native, high-growth companies. You'll bring a perspective shaped by working inside digital businesses, understanding not just how to analyze them, but how they actually operate. The individual will report to the MD of Strategy.
What You'll Do
Opportunity identification and assessment
1. Evaluate target markets / sectors. Bring market intelligence that challenges assumptions and sharpens our thinking
2. Identify and asses targets and strategic partnership opportunities aligned with our growth ambitions. Develop investment theses grounded in data, financial modeling, and sector insights
3. Conduct rigorous financial analysis, dissecting statements, assessing valuations, benchmarking
Strategic Influence

What We're Looking For
Essential:

7. Digital-native experience: Background working at or with digital platforms (e.g., Meta, Apple, Expedia, Airbnb, Spotify, Ticketmaster) OR deep functional experience in the front-end of digital businesses with a highly analytical, finance-driven approach
8. Cultural fluency: Lived experience and understanding of how digital-native companies operate—different pace, different models, different decision-making cultures
9. Executive presence: Ability to build conviction and present complex ideas persuasively to senior stakeholders
10. Cross-functional comfort: Equally at ease discussing financial models, market dynamics, and business development strategies
11. Background in strategy consulting or corporate development
12. Experience in Live and Sport sectors— eg travel, entertainment, sports, live events, ticketing
Why This Role Matters
You'll be central to decisions that shape Liberty Global's next chapter. This is a high-visibility role where your analysis, judgment, and sector expertise directly influence major investment decisions. You'll work alongside senior leadership, gaining exposure to complex strategic challenges while building relationships across the experience economy landscape.
