The Role

Modelling investment opportunities

• Read, interpret and critically assess investment packs, including recoupment schedules and the assumptions behind them; extract and structure the key financial data into Tilted’s proprietary modelling templates (West End, touring, Broadway and international variants), and reconcile each model to the pack.
• Build and maintain the models for prospective investments — cashflow, recoupment, IRR and scenario analysis — identify the key risks, assumptions and commercial drivers in eachopportunity, and liaise with producers and third parties to get the inputs right.
• Prepare a clear written recommendation for each opportunity for the investment committee: the case, the risks, the return scenarios and the recommended position.
• Maintain and refine the templates and the assumptions behind them as the portfolio and the market change.

Portfolio tracking and data

• Keep every model, the master database and the vintage files accurate and up to date across the whole portfolio.
• Collect weekly sales reports and production accounts from producers and general managers, chase what is missing, and update live sales and production-account cycles on schedule.
• Track each investment’s performance against its original forecast and re-forecast returns when the evidence warrants it, under agreed rules.

Reporting

• Own the monthly investment report and the portfolio overview: produce them on time, to a consistent standard, with the numbers reconciled; produce quarterly portfolio reporting including ROI and IRR tracking and production-level analysis against forecast.
• Contribute to investor updates, year-end reporting and the annual review of each vintage.
• Support the company’s investment decisions with reliable, well-presented analysis, and answer questions on it directly.

Payments and financial administration

• Oversee the investment cashflows — drawdowns, capital calls and distributions — and keep the schedule of what is due and what has been received.
• Track and reconcile investment payments against the models and the accounts and liaise with the company’s accountant and with producers’ offices to resolve discrepancies.

Systems and improvement

• Maintain and develop the master investment database: the single source of truth for every investment, its forecasts and its results.
• Operate, test and improve the digital dashboard and the modelling app, working with Sam and with external partners on what they do next; report bugs, propose improvements, and take ownership of the parts that support your cycles.
• Support the transition to AI-assisted processes: use AI tools as a normal part of the work — extracting data from packs, drafting analysis, checking models — introduce automation where it actually adds value, and make sure the outputs remain accurate and useful.
• Document how the cycles run so that the work is repeatable and not dependent on any one person.

General

• Handle a large volume of confidential and commercially sensitive producer information with care — on company systems only, to the company’s data and AI policy, and never through public or consumer AI services.
• Attend producer and marketing meetings for portfolio shows where useful, and build good working relationships with producers’ offices.
• Any other duties relating to the investment portfolio that may reasonably be required.

We’d love to meet you if…

• Excel to an advanced level. You build and audit models confidently — structured layouts, lookups, scenario logic, error-checking — and you can find the mistake in someone else’s spreadsheet.
• Financial literacy. You understand a P&L, cash flow, break-even and return on investment, and can explain them plainly to someone who does not.
• Accuracy and attention to detail. You reconcile and check, and you notice when a number does not tie back.
• Process and reliability. You can run a recurring cycle to a calendar, chase inputs from busy people, and deliver on the date.
• Clear writing. You can turn analysis into a short, well-organised written recommendation.
• Discretion. You are comfortable holding confidential commercial information and understand why it matters.
• Self-direction. You are happy working in a small team, largely managing your own workload, and asking for what you need.
• Open to new technologies. You already use AI tools in your own work and are happy learning, testing and improving in-house systems — a database, a dashboard, an app — as well as Excel.

About Tilted

Tilted is a production company founded by producer and director Sam Hodges, making new work across theatre, live podcasts and film — recent productions include Shadowlands, Uncanny: Fear of the Dark, Every Brilliant Thing and Giant.

With tech entrepreneur and investor Simon Nixon, Tilted also runs one of the UK’s largest and most active theatre investment portfolios: over 100 productions backed in five years across the West End, Broadway, touring and international markets. We’re building an investment process that is more systematic and more scalable — better data, proper portfolio tracking, less manual work, and automation and AI where they help. Nobody in theatre has a settled way of doing this yet;this role is at the centre of how we do it.

What We Offer

• A central role in an established and growing investment portfolio, with real responsibility from the start and direct access to the decisions your work informs.
• Hands-on work with a data and modelling toolkit built in-house, and a say in where it goes next.
• Exposure to commercial theatre at producer level — London, Broadway and touring — and to the people who run it.
• A small, informal, fast-moving company where good work is noticed and the role will grow with the business.
• Flexibility on working pattern and some remote working once established.
