• Transfer and manage the operating plan in MS Project (or equivalent project management software)
• Develop and manage detailed project plans by functional area and by market
• Track timelines, budgets, resources, risks, and key milestones for commercial initiatives
• Identify and map interdependencies and risks to ensure proactive mitigation
• Support regular plan reviews and progress reporting across the Commercial department
• Monitor and report on key commercial performance metrics and milestones
• Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support delivery
• Champion a commercially driven mindset, ensuring profitability and results are embedded in all plans and activities

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Marketing, or a related field
• 10+ years’ experience in a similar role — ideally in Planning, Business Analysis, or Business Development
• Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects across multiple markets
• Strong financial and business acumen, with a consumer-focused approach
• Excellent data analysis, planning, and reporting skills
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Confident communicator, able to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels
