• Assisting in the consolidation and interpretation of capital financial results for month-end close, the annual operating plan (AOP), and quarterly forecasts (3+9, 6+6, 9+3).
• Analyzing spending trends to identify optimization opportunities and support effective capital deployment.
• Providing backup and cross-functional support to regional Ops Finance or Capital Finance teams for AOP development, forecasting, and local project control.
• Supporting finance-led manufacturing initiatives aimed at improving EVA performance and building financial acumen within non-finance teams.
• Performing ad-hoc financial modelling and analysis to support leadership decision-making.
• Preparing clear and insightful presentations, summaries, and financial reports for senior management.

• Proven ability to plan, prioritize, and manage multiple financial activities.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills with stakeholders at all levels.
