Zusammenfassung

SHI International Corp. in London seeks a seasoned Director of Corporate Planning to own SHI’s end-to-end enterprise planning agenda.

You will design, lead and execute the company’s planning process, partnering with Finance leadership to align strategy with the financial plan and to guide executive decision-making. This senior role requires executive presence, independent judgement, and the credibility to partner with senior business leaders.

Qualifikationen

• Completed Bachelor’s degree in finance or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• Master’s degree in finance or a related field, or equivalent experience (preferred).
• Professional accountancy qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) is advantageous.

Aufgaben

• Own the full planning lifecycle: annual operating plan, reforecast process, rolling monthly latest view, 3–5 year long-range model and strategic scenario planning.
• Define and maintain the planning calendar, templates, milestones, submission process and checkpoint reviews.
• Ensure outputs are timely, decision-oriented and aligned to strategy rather than mechanically produced.
• Partner with the Finance leadership team to translate enterprise strategy into a financial plan and to frame priorities, trade-offs and investment choices.
• Act as the primary FP&A interface to executive leadership during the cycle; represent the planning function at executive meetings with clear strategic insight.
• Constructively challenge assumptions and elevate discussion beyond incremental budgeting.
• Design and own the corporate planning model, ensuring scalability across sales segments and business units, consistency of assumptions, and clean consolidation and reconciliation.
• Build and maintain the driver models behind planning: revenue and gross profit, cost and headcount.
• Own the target-setting cascade from the top-down goal to segment and function level, including target and capacity modelling.
• Maintain a clear audit trail and version control across planning iterations.
• Lead the rollout of the corporate plan through clear guidance, structured templates and consistent assumptions.
• Pressure-test segment and function submissions and hold process discipline across functions.
• Own the pack for check-in reviews and consolidate submissions into a single coherent position; present risks and opportunities.
• Establish planning standards and governance covering assumption management, scenario discipline and change control.
• Analyse forecast accuracy by segment and driver after each cycle and feed findings into the next cycle’s assumptions.
• Own the process improvement agenda, including tooling, automation and the practical use of AI, to reduce cycle time and increase executive confidence in outputs.
• Ensure planning processes comply with accounting standards, regulatory requirements and data protection obligations, and support financial risk management.
