Reporting to the Manager - FP&A, NGM, with day-to-day functional alignment to the Senior Manager - FP&A Operations through the Manager, the role supports and partially leads work streams across site and asset budgets, forecasts, rolling outlooks, Life-of-Mine (LOM) and business plan inputs, monthly performance reporting, cost and productivity analysis, variance analysis, KPI dashboards, data reconciliation, and operational decision support across Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge, and the NGM processing assets.
