About the role

The Head of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) is responsible for leading Unioil's financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting processes, and for providing the Chief Finance Officer, the Executive Committee, and the Board with timely, accurate, and insightful analysis to support strategic and operational decision-making. The role owns the company's short- and long-term financial planning cycle, drives scenario and sensitivity analysis around fuel pricing, foreign exchange, and volume assumptions, and oversees the Corporate Planning function to ensure alignment between long-range strategic plans and annual budgets. The role is expected to act as a key business partner to Commercial, Supply Chain/Terminals, Retail, and Operations, translating financial analysis into actionable recommendations.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the annual budgeting process and periodic (monthly/quarterly) rolling forecasts across all business units (Retail, Commercial/Wholesale, Lubricants, Terminals/Depots, and Corporate).
• Consolidate business unit plans into a single, coherent company-wide financial plan, ensuring consistency of assumptions (e.g., Brent crude, Mean of Platts Singapore pricing, peso-dollar exchange rate, volume growth, inflation).
• Develop and maintain integrated financial models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) to support planning, capital allocation, and financing decisions.
• Own and continuously refine scenario planning and stress-testing capability (e.g., oil price shocks, FX volatility, regulatory changes, demand disruptions) to inform management and Board risk discussions.
• Prepare monthly management reports, variance analyses (actual vs. budget vs. forecast vs. prior year), and key performance indicator (KPI) dashboards for the CFO and Exco.
• Prepare the CEO Reports, Board and Board Committee materials relating to financial performance, outlook, and strategic initiatives, in coordination with the CFO.
• Directly supervise the Corporate Planning Manager and the corporate planning function, ensuring the development and periodic refresh of the company's 3- to 5-year strategic/long-range plan.
• Review and evaluate capital expenditure proposals (new stations, terminal/depot investments, plant and equipment) using standard investment appraisal tools (NPV, IRR, payback, sensitivity analysis).
• Analyze product/channel/customer profitability (Retail stations, Commercial/Industrial accounts, LPG, Lubricants) to identify margin improvement opportunities.
• Drive continuous improvement of FP&A tools, templates, and systems (e.g., ERP-based planning modules, BI/dashboarding tools) to improve efficiency and accuracy of reporting.

About you

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA); an MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification is an advantage.
• At least 10 years of progressive experience in financial planning & analysis, corporate finance, or controllership, with at least 5 years in a managerial/leadership capacity.
• Prior experience in oil and gas, energy, or other capital-intensive, commodity-price-sensitive industry is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining complex financial models and leading annual budgeting/forecasting cycles.
• Experience preparing and presenting to senior management, Board, or Board Committees.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel/financial modelling; experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and BI/reporting tools (e.g., Power BI) is a plus.
• Strategic and analytical thinking, with the ability to translate complex data into clear business recommendations.
• Strong financial modelling and quantitative/scenario-analysis skills.
• Excellent business partnering and stakeholder management skills across finance and non-finance functions.
• Strong people leadership; able to manage and develop a team, including the Corporate Planning Manager and staff.
