Global FP&A Manager

We are looking for an experienced Global FP&A Manager to join an international organization on a six-month fixed-term interim assignment.

Reporting directly to the Group FP&A Director, you will take ownership of the global FP&A cycle across multiple entities and regions during an important transition period.

As Global FP&A Manager, you will own the consolidated global P&L and play a key role in supporting senior leadership with accurate, insightful and actionable financial information.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Owning the global FP&A cycle across entities and regions

• Managing monthly actuals versus budget, forecast and prior year, including driver-based variance analysis and commentary

• Running the full forecast cycle from templates and submission calendars through regional follow-up, consolidation and executive review

• Preparing monthly management reporting packs as well as materials for the Board and Executive Committee

• Providing ad-hoc financial analysis, including business cases, scenario modelling and cost-base reviews

• Working closely with regional finance leads and functional leaders, challenging assumptions and submissions rather than simply consolidating information

• Driving greater consistency and efficiency across the FP&A organisation

• Standardising templates, documenting definitions and mapping logic, and improving reporting processes

• Automating at least one manual process during the assignment

• Ensuring a structured and well-documented handover to the permanent post-holder or Group Controlling during the final weeks

Success in the role will be measured by your ability to deliver FP&A cycles according to schedule, provide high-quality reporting without rework, maintain forecast accuracy within agreed tolerances and leave behind a clear and robust handover.
