Description

We are seeking a Supply FP&A Manager to manage Make FP&A performance insight and decision support by converting manufacturing cost drivers, production activity, process-order performance, and variance data into clear, action-oriented analysis for Make leaders, regional teams, and functional cost owners.

Top Accountabilities:

  1. Manage Make performance insight and variance analysis
  • Own timely and accurate analysis of Make / manufacturing actuals, forecast, plan, and scenario views using Prism standard dashboards, SAP data, and agreed data definitions.
  • Explain key movements in production cost, conversion cost, process-order variances, yield, usage, scrap, overheads, and cost-center performance through clear driver-based analysis.
  • Prepare senior-ready Make performance narratives and support action-oriented reviews with clear ownership of follow-up actions.
  1. Lead Make planning, forecasting, and scenario support
  • Coordinate AOP, forecast, and latest-estimate inputs for Make cost areas, ensuring production assumptions, activity drivers, and cost movements are transparent and aligned with standard Prism logic.
  • Maintain driver-based views of manufacturing performance, including production volume, routing/activity assumptions, conversion rates, BOM/routing impacts, standard cost movements, and cost-center trends.
  • Support scenarios linked to production plans, site performance, SKU mix, efficiency changes, productivity actions, and one-off operational impacts.
  1. Drive Prism adoption and standard ways of working
  • Promote standard Prism dashboards, routines, taxonomy, KPI definitions, and data-quality controls for Make performance management.
  • Challenge duplicate manual reports, repeated reconciliations, and local workarounds, escalating improvement opportunities to the Make Director and Process COE.
  • Work with Performance Managers and regional teams to ensure Make outputs are understood, adopted, and converted into accountable business actions.
  1. Partner with Manufacturing, Costing, and regional Finance
  • Partner with Supply Operations, Manufacturing, Costing, Performance Managers, and regional Supply Finance teams to understand root causes behind Make performance.
  • Translate complex SAP, process-order, cost-center, and operational information into simple messages for business stakeholders.
  • Support cost-owner accountability by connecting variance analysis to actions, risks, opportunities, and productivity delivery.
  1. Improve data quality, controls, and continuous improvement
  • Validate Make data products and MVP logic, including SAP / Material Ledger / process-order / cost-center data and DDH / Databricks industrialized outputs.
  • Document process logic, assumptions, data lineage, and analytical definitions so outputs are transparent, repeatable, and auditable.
  • Contribute to Lean, automation, and AI-enabled improvement opportunities that reduce cycle time, improve insight quality, and strengthen Make cost-owner accountability.

What you'll bring:

  • University / college degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in FP&A, supply finance, manufacturing finance, controlling, performance reporting, or business analytics; experience in FMCG or complex manufacturing environments preferred.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing cost drivers, production planning, process orders, standard costing, conversion cost, yield, usage, scrap, overheads, and COGS performance.
  • Experience supporting planning, forecasting, actuals review, and performance routines across markets, plants, or regions.
  • Technical and digital capability:
  • Strong SAP FI/CO/MM knowledge; familiarity with Material Ledger, standard costing, BOM/routing logic, process orders, cost centers, and production variance analysis.
  • Comfortable using Power BI, Excel, SAP extracts, and self-service reporting to analyze trends, variances, and cost drivers.
  • Understanding of DDH / Databricks concepts, data lineage, dashboard adoption, and workflow automation is advantageous.
  • Digital curiosity and willingness to work with citizen developers, data teams, and AI-enabled tools to improve analysis quality and cycle time.
  • Business partnering and change capability:
  • Strong analytical thinking with the ability to simplify complex manufacturing and finance data into clear business recommendations.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with confidence to challenge constructively and influence without direct authority.
  • Lean / continuous improvement mindset, with a focus on removing waste, improving repeatability, and strengthening controls.
  • Strong attention to detail, ownership, and accountability for accurate, timely, and transparent performance insight.
  • Fluent English knowledge and ability to create senior-ready analysis, commentary, and presentation materials.
