• Own group-wide budgeting multi-year planning and rolling forecasts across a broad mix of businesses and asset classes
• Put a single performance framework in place - KPIs measures and reporting - that ties results back to strategy and makes accountability visible
• Bring group and entity-level performance into one consolidated view aligning planning standards across portfolio finance teams
• Act as a genuine sounding board to the Group CFO CEO and wider leadership offering an independent view and pushing back where it counts
• Produce both the numbers and the narrative behind executive and Board reporting making complex detail land clearly
• Model the scenarios and returns behind capital deployment portfolio decisions and major investment cases
• Design how FP amp A will run day to day - processes governance systems and team - and build it out from the ground up

• 18+ years in finance, with meaningful leadership time in FP amp A, strategic finance, planning or performance management at group or holding-company level
• Background in a sovereign fund, holding group, infrastructure platform, pension fund or large asset manager - somewhere with real portfolio complexity
• Comfortable working across several businesses, entities, geographies or asset classes at once
• Has built or rebuilt a planning function before, rather than stepping into one that already worked
• Strong modelling, forecasting and scenario work, paired with a commercial view on where capital should go
• Credible in front of CEOs, CFOs and Boards - able to explain the story behind the numbers and challenge senior people without leaning on title
• A finance or accounting qualification, or relevant postgraduate degree, is welcome - though track record and executive credibility carry more weight
