Key Responsibilities

• Planning, Forecasting & Performance Management
• Own the unit-level forecast, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and alignment with group targets
• Partner with the Hub to deliver rolling forecasts, scenarios, and sensitivity analyses
• Explain variances with insight—not just numbers—linking performance to operational drivers
• Surface risks and opportunities early, enabling proactive course correction
• Value Creation & Capital Discipline
• Evaluate initiatives, investments, and trade-offs using ROI frameworks and return thresholds
• Ensure resources are allocated intentionally, with clear success metrics and accountability
• Lead post-investment performance reviews, closing the loop between strategy, execution, and outcomes
  
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Leads with curiosity, consistently asking why and how to deeply understand business drivers
• Challenges ideas constructively, earning trust through insight and evidence rather than authority
• Communicates complex concepts clearly and simply, enabling effective decision-making
• Thrives in ambiguity and remains energized by change in dynamic environments
• Demonstrates a strong growth mindset, continuously improving financial models, insights, and decision frameworks
  
  

Requirements
