• Change Management & Capability Building: Training and coaching financial analysts and planners on new, standardized processes and tools. The Coordinator acts as a change agent to ensure the adoption of new ways of working and to promote a culture of continuous improvement within the Finance function.
• Project Management: Leading or supporting process excellence initiatives within Financial Planning, tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like forecast accuracy and process cycle time, and ensuring projects deliver measurable financial benefits (e.g., time savings, cost reduction).
