• Lead the annual planning and budgeting cycle for your departments, and deliver timely, accurate forecasts that surface financial opportunities and risks early.
• Build insightful dashboards and reports using strong data analytics — connecting the dots across the technology landscape to give leaders clear, data-driven views that support their decisions.
• Drive automation and AI into our FP&A and reporting — identifying and implementing opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and raise the speed and quality of our insights.
• Support benchmarking, business cases and improvement initiatives that strengthen financial excellence across the technology departments.
• Apply sound FP&A, financial modelling, business controls and compliance knowledge to guide stakeholders and mentor junior team members.

• Degree in Finance and Accounting.
• 6 - 10 years of progressive finance experience, with recent years directly supporting technology functions in financial institutions and/or large multinationals / conglomerates as the Finance Business Partner.

• Driven self-starter - strong initiative, resourceful and able to work collaboratively with different stakeholders independently to deliver outcomes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data sets and provide actionable insights. Proficiency in data visualization and analytical tools (e.g. Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent tools) is an added advantage.
• Experience in applying automation, and advanced analytics within the finance function is an added advantage.
