• Drive accurate month-end closing, including accruals and reposting, together with the accountant and relevant stakeholders.
• Prepare high-quality submissions and presentations for the investment governance (IPG) meeting, and deliver ad hoc analysis in partnership with project management.
• Identify process gaps, inefficiencies and inconsistencies across projects, and drive harmonisation to a single way of working that reduces cycle time and rework.
• Report regularly to the PMO and steering stakeholders on contract and payment terms status, open gaps, remediation progress and risk-mitigation actions.
• Ensure compliance with internal policies and global standards for contract, payment and invoicing processes, and spot value-creation opportunities based on your business understanding.
