• Improve Forecast Accuracy: Build scalable forecasting models, deliver clear variance analysis, and strengthen data governance across cost centres and operating groups.

• Drive Reporting Excellence: Produce management reports, monthly business review materials, and presentation decks covering sales, revenue, forecasts, and business drivers.

• Automate FP&A Processes: Identify opportunities to improve processes through dashboards, agentic forecasting, modelling, and automated reporting outputs.

• Lead and Develop the Team: Coach the Manila finance analyst team to focus on analysis, insights, and value-added commercial support.

• Strong commercial acumen, stakeholder management, communication, presentation, and leadership skills.

• Highly analytical, change-oriented, collaborative, and able to balance speed, accuracy, and business practicality.
