About the Role

The Director, Corporate Planning is the single-point owner of SHI's enterprise-wide corporate planning agenda, designing, leading, and executing the company's end-to-end planning process. This senior leadership role requires executive presence and independent judgment to partner with the Finance Leadership team and senior business leaders.

Responsibilities

Own the full planning lifecycle: annual operating plan, reforecast process, rolling monthly latest view, 3–5 year long-range model and strategic scenario planning.
Define and maintain the planning calendar, templates, milestones, submission process and checkpoint reviews.
Ensure outputs are timely, decision-oriented and aligned to strategy rather than mechanically produced.
Partner with the Finance leadership team to translate enterprise strategy into a financial plan and to frame priorities, trade-offs and investment choices.
Set planning parameters and assumptions with the CFO and relevant leadership ahead of each cycle opening.
Act as the primary FP&A interface to executive leadership during the cycle; represent the planning function at executive meetings with clear strategic insight.
Constructively challenge assumptions and elevate discussion beyond incremental budgeting.
Design and own the corporate planning model, ensuring scalability across sales segments and business units, consistency of assumptions, and clean consolidation and reconciliation.
Build and maintain the driver models behind planning: revenue and gross profit, cost and headcount.
Own the target-setting cascade from the top-down goal to segment and function level, including target and capacity modelling.
Maintain a clear audit trail and version control across planning iterations.
Lead the rollout of the corporate plan through clear guidance, structured templates and consistent assumptions.
Pressure-test segment and function submissions and hold process discipline across functions.
Own the pack for check-in reviews and consolidate submissions into a single coherent position; present risks and opportunities.
Establish planning standards and governance covering assumption management, scenario discipline and change control.
Analyse forecast accuracy by segment and driver after each cycle and feed findings into the next cycle's assumptions and methodology.
Own the process improvement agenda, including tooling, automation and the practical use of AI, to reduce cycle time and increase executive confidence in outputs.
Ensure planning processes comply with accounting standards, regulatory requirements and data protection obligations, and support financial risk management by flagging exposure early.
Provide leadership to the planning function: begin as a hands-on leader and build a team as the function matures.
Foster a culture of financial discipline, shared responsibility and continuous improvement; coach and develop team members.
Lead and support on FP&A and Corporate finance projects.
Support M&A.
Support Quarterly business reviews (QBR) design, implementation and process.
