As directed by VP, FP&A, the Finance Business Partner is the primary point of day-to-day contact between Group and the Business Director of a defined number of local Opcos, working closely with the Controllership & Accounting teams (supporting corporate accounting & compliance); and with Business Management & Operations team (in relation to operational issues).
The Finance Business Partner is responsible for ensuring that the Opcos provide financial planning and actual information to Group on a timely basis; and for collating regular financial reporting and analysis for the Management Team, together with appropriate variance analysis, KPI’s and commentary. By maintaining day-to-day contact with the Opco Business Directors & Production Finance heads, the Finance Business Partner should understand the business rationale and commercial circumstances behind the Opco’s financials; and should provide both the Opco and Group management with relevant financial information including business background, recommendations, and conclusions.
