- Review consolidated regional submissions and challenge assumptions to ensure accurate, robust group-level cash flow modelling.
- Analyse variances between Actuals and Budget / BEs, particularly focusing on Working Capital (e.g., timing mismatches, structural changes, submission errors).
- Partner with global and regional finance stakeholders to co-develop robust FCF forecasting models, with a dedicated focus on optimising WC accuracy.
- Serve as the designated primary subject matter expert for the implementation of FCF planning within Anaplan, ensuring alignment with group standards and best practices while providing guidance to cross-functional stakeholders throughout the deployment lifecycle.

- Expert-level knowledge of the linkages between the three core financial statements.
- Deep, technical understanding of the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) and related concepts (such as DIO, DSO, and DPO).
- Precise understanding of which specific accounts roll up into working capital reporting and how to build driver-based forecasts for each distinct account, seamlessly connecting operational shifts to balance sheet lines.
- Proven ability to bridge the gap between P&L tax expense and actual cash tax outflows.
- Solid understanding of the cash-flow timing implications of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) instalment payments, withholding taxes, value-added taxes (VAT) settlements, and the mechanics of Deferred Tax Assets/Liabilities.
