The role: As a Finance Manager in Financial Planning and Analysis, you will lead strategic financial planning, budgeting, and multi-year forecasting to ensure the financial sustainability of our organization. You will analyze financial and operational performance, providing insights, recommending efficiency improvements, and supporting risk mitigation. Your responsibilities will include developing and delivering high-quality management reports, dashboards, and scenario analyses for senior leadership and the board.
