About The Role:

The Finance team is seeking a Finance Manager to lead and enhance the finance function within the Secret Group. Collectively, Secret Cinema, Studio Secret Cinema, and TodayTix Live are the live production arm of TodayTix Group. Our projects inspire Collective Effervescence in live audiences.
