Context đź“„
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, the Head of FP&A leads the newly structured FP&A function (a team of 3 FP&A controllers). He / She owns the management cycle and the calendar, arbitrates priorities and ad hoc requests, and acts as the guardian of the method and of the single planning model. He / She is accountable for the quality of the figures and for the development of the team.
This role comes at a pivotal moment: Younited is moving to a market-standard, end-to-end FP&A organization and the Head of FP&A will be responsible for shaping his/her team target operating model, formalise scopes and ways of working, and progressively automate and strengthen the reliability of the whole planning and reporting chain — while partnering closely with the business to turn financial analysis into better decisions.
Key responsibilities 🚀
Build the team target operating model, define the set of FP&A procedures (scopes, calendar, controls, documentation) and make its organisation resilient by design with clear back-ups and shared standards.
Own the budget process, business planning and reforecasts: annual budget (build, iterations, defence), multi-year business plan and periodic reforecasts, under one method and one single model.
Own the monthly closing process: pre-close anticipation of closing topics so that issues are spotted before the accounts are closed, post-close analysis of variances to budget, and capital plan.
Deliver timely, clear financial reporting tailored to each audience — leadership, local management and business partners — including management accounts, variance analyses and ad hoc studies, and act as a business partner to the divisions on strategic initiatives and performance improvement.
Lead, develop and coach the FP&A team, ensuring skills development, back-up and high performance across the scope.
