Lyric is seeking an Associate to strengthen the firm’s financial planning, analysis, forecasting, and reporting function across its portfolio and music assets. The Associate will serve as a finance partner to the investment team and senior leadership, with responsibility for forecasting, performance analysis, valuation support, and data-driven recommendations that influence portfolio strategy.

The role combines traditional FP&A responsibilities with the specialized analytics and asset-level modeling required to manage a music-royalty portfolio. As Lyric continues to grow, the Associate will help build the analytical and reporting infrastructure that supports portfolio oversight, capital planning, investor reporting, and long-term value creation.
