Senior Manager Financial Processes (m/w/d)

We Are Era is a European community economy company focused on community-led relevance.

We decode what moves people through data and translate those insights into culturally resonant storytelling – across platforms, formats and markets.

With offices in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Cologne, Münster, Paris, Milan, and Stockholm, our international team creates stories with impact and relevance, tailored to communities across all platforms.

It is no coincidence that We Are Era sees itself as the shortest route to every community and subculture.

Our projects range from TV productions and fictional series to branded formats on platforms such as You Tube, Instagram, Twitch, and Tik Tok.

We support and guide creators on their journey toward building their own personal brands.

Our international team of 400 employees speaks every language – from mainstream to subculture, from the Fridays for Future movement to K-pop culture.
