You will work throughout the regular forecast and budget processes as well as special projects as they arise.

You will drive the revenue, local OPEX and capital forecasting and budgeting process, being a valuable partner to budget owners and working cross-functionally with regional and global stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive and quality forecast. Finally you will drive efficiencies in the Finance organisation by identifying process deficiencies, offering viable and scalable solutions and driving cross-departmental collaboration to implement those solutions.
