Job Description

Job Summary

Reporting to the Head of Business Performance and working within the Group FP&A framework, the role provides rigorous analytical capability that converts financial and operational data into clear implications, trade-offs, and decision options for Group Chief Finance Officer and management.

2. Financial Modelling & Valuation. Build and maintain financial models supporting performance evaluation, investment decisions, and strategic initiatives; ensure all models are aligned with Planning & Performance assumptions and approved baselines; and maintain a single, consistent modelling framework across the organization.
3. Value Bridge & Performance Insight. Maintain value bridge across assets (plan, actual, gap, actions), identify key drivers of variance and quantify financial impact and translate data into actionable insights and decision recommendations.
4. Analytical Framework & Consistency. Define and enforce standard methodologies for analytics, sensitivities, and scenario modelling; ensure consistency of analytical approach across assets and functions; and support enforcement of single data source (SDS) in all analytical outputs.
5. Cross-Pillar Support. Act as analytical partner to Planning & Performance and Asset Business Performance; support cross-functional initiatives involving Operations, Projects, SCM, and Treasury; and provide analytical inputs for management and Board materials where required.
6. Leadership & Capability. Lead and develop a lean, high-caliber analytics capability; build strong modelling, analytical, and decision-support skills; and drive disciplined, consistent use of analytics across the organization.
