Finance Strategic Planning

Responsibilities:

Turn data into decisions : Build and maintain reliable KPI dashboards, conducting deep-dive analyses, and translate complex data into clear, actionable business insights. Ensure insights drive better decisions, as well as improved risk–return trade-offs. Proactively challenge opinion-based decisions with strong, data-driven perspectives.

Communication & storytelling : Synthesize insights into crisp slides, clear narratives, and decision-focused summaries. Present confidently to senior management and cross-functional forums. Adapt communication style effectively for technical teams, business leaders, and non-technical stakeholders.

Cross-functional exposure : Partner closely with other functions/circles to support cross-functional decision-making. Act as a neutral integrator to align teams on facts, clarify trade-offs, and enable faster, better decisions. Provide support beyond the KPI when the business impact is material.

Strategic projects : Support the execution of strategic initiatives by coordinating cross-functional teams, conducting relevant analyses and research, developing project plans, and tracking progress against key timelines and milestones.

Stay current and raise the bar : Continuously improve capabilities by learning and introducing useful (not merely trendy) tools, stronger techniques and better practices. Institutionalize these improvements into the team’s standard ways of working to consistently raise performance and impact.

Leadership development & succession readiness : Build leadership readiness by serving as a backup or interim owner for key data leadership roles and actively contributing to strategic projects, cross-functional task forces, and special assignments. Develop the capability to eventually lead a performance function.
