• Identify deviations early, influence outcomes before they materialize, and drive concrete mitigation actions together with operational and commercial stakeholders.
• Drive execution accountability with cost center owners by ensuring clear ownership of budgets, forecasts, cost deviations, corrective actions, and delivery of agreed financial targets.
• Ensure robust internal controls, SOX compliance, and adherence to corporate governance standards across finance processes.
• Partner closely with the Plant Manager and leadership team on operational, commercial, and strategic financial matters.
• Support investment decisions and operational planning through business cases, financial modelling, cost calculations, and scenario analysis.
