• Manage operational and commercial budgets with strong discipline, providing timely insights and recommending corrective actions.

• Develop dashboards and reporting tools to enhance visibility into sales performance, profitability, operational costs, and key KPIs.

Key Qualifications for Success

• Strong background in partnering with business leaders to shape growth strategies, build accurate forecasts, and anticipate potential risks and opportunities.

• Practical experience managing trade spend and promotional budgets, ideally gained within FMCG, consumer electronics, or retail‑driven environments.

• Deep familiarity with budgeting, forecasting, and full P&L ownership, including the ability to reconcile financial results with precision.

• Highly self‑directed professional who can manage multiple deliverables independently and remain effective in a fast‑moving, high‑pressure environment.

• Quick learner with the ability to adapt rapidly and grow autonomy in responsibilities.

• Strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate across different teams and stakeholder groups.
