At Merlin Entertainments, we create magical experiences for millions of guests every year across some of the world’s most iconic attractions – from LEGOLAND® and Madame Tussauds to SEA LIFE and the London Eye. Behind the scenes, our Finance teams play a vital role in making this possible, turning numbers into insights that help shape decisions across the business.
As Junior Finance Business Partner – Technical Services, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Finance Business Partner to drive performance across our global Technical Services function. From analysing data and preparing reports to working directly with stakeholders, you’ll be right at the heart of decision-making, helping us deliver great guest experiences around the world.
This role isn’t just about the numbers. Yes, cost discipline is important, but what really makes the difference is the insight you bring, the processes you improve, and the value you add by connecting teams – from our attractions to our Global Engineering and Operational Excellence teams. You’ll help ensure best practice, provide clarity in reporting, and support global initiatives that keep Merlin at the top of its game.
This role can be based at any UK attraction or office on a hybrid basis.
