• Cost Control & Operating Efficiency — Track headcount and operating expenditure against budget, analyse cost drivers across entities, and support cost optimisation and productivity initiatives.
• Business Partnering — Work with department heads and country leads so budget ownership sits with the business.
• Finance Transformation — Drive automation and efficiency across finance workflows, including reporting automation, template standardisation and removal of manual processes.
• Corporate Support — Support month-end close, due diligence, M&A and integration activity, and ad hoc analysis for management.

• Demonstrable FP&A track record covering budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and management reporting, ideally in a multi-entity or regional structure
• Strong PowerPoint and deck-building capability — able to structure and deliver a management-grade presentation
• Effective in a fast-moving environment with competing priorities
