Two years. Three rotations. One launchpad to lead.

The Finance Leadership Development Program turns ambitious, innovative Analysts into Skydance’s next generation of Finance leaders. Starting summer 2027, you’ll join as a full-time employee for a two-year program, rotating through three eight-month assignments across our Finance organization — learning the business from the inside, building real financial and leadership skills, and pitching your own capstone project directly to company leadership. A dedicated mentor is with you every step of the way.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Financial Modeling & Forecasting

Craft and maintain complex financial models that shape real budgeting, forecasting, and expense optimization across the business

Turn data into direction — translate KPIs and core business metrics into analyses leadership will use to drive decisions

Capstone Innovation Project

Identify a real business problem, build a solution, and pitch it directly to company leadership — a chance most analysts don’t get until years into their career

On-the-Job Training & Leadership Development

Own real, high-impact work from day one — guided by your manager and a dedicated mentor invested in your growth

Receive comprehensive AI training, including in-depth sessions on how and when to use finance and other enterprise-wide tools

Sharpen your leadership edge through recurring feedback, a day shadowing an executive, and dedicated leadership training

Reporting & Close

Own critical pieces of the monthly and quarterly close — accruals, reconciliation, and variance analysis that keep the business accurate

Dive into the general ledger and turn raw numbers into clear, actionable reports

Run the quarterly payment process end-to-end

Business Partnership

Partner directly with finance, accounting, and business leaders — your insight helps shape how the business plans ahead

Take on ad hoc, high-visibility requests that put your problem-solving in front of the people who matter

Build a cross-functional network of relationships that will follow you for the rest of your career
