Job Description

Ready to step into a role where your analysis directly shapes business performance?

Join a globally recognised leader in the manufacturing space, known for its structured, high-performance culture and strong international footprint. With a focus on continuous improvement, planning excellence, and data-driven decision-making, this is an environment where sharp minds thrive.

As part of the Corporate Planning team, you’ll play a critical role in driving sales performance through robust forecasting, reporting, and insights. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role where your ability to build models, interpret data, and influence decisions will make a tangible impact.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Build and maintain advanced Excel models using data from SAP, CRM, and BI tools
  • Lead sales forecasting, budgeting, and gross margin planning cycles
  • Perform detailed variance analysis (actual vs budget/forecast)
  • Support monthly and cyclical reporting processes
  • Generate actionable insights to support strategic decision-making
  • Partner with sales and business units to track and improve performance

What we’re looking for:

  • 3–8 years’ experience in FP&A, analytics, or management accounting
  • Advanced Excel skills (non-negotiable – complex formulas & modelling)
  • Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
  • Exposure to SAP, Power BI, or CRM systems (advantageous)
  • Strong analytical mindset with commercial awareness
  • Self-starter who thrives in a structured, high-expectation environment

What’s in it for you:

  • Opportunity to shape and grow within an evolving planning function
  • Exposure to an international business with strong systems and processes
  • Collaborative, high-performing team with leadership growth potential

If you enjoy working in the detail, building models, and turning data into real business value—this role is built for you.
