The Financial Planning & Performance Lead is accountable for FP&A OPEX & CAPEX planning, and performance management across the organisation, owning the end-to-end execution of planning and reporting outputs across actuals, forecast, and budget, including workforce, direct and indirect expenditure.

The role plays a central role in how financial planning operates across the organisation, ensuring that planning processes, governance, and outputs are consistent, reliable, and delivered effectively at scale. This is not a business partnering role; it focuses on the execution, governance, and delivery of planning processes across the organisation.

This role is the enterprise owner of the Financial Planning & Performance domain, with end-to-end accountability for the integrity, governance, and reliability of planning and actuals outputs relied upon by executive and Finance leadership. This includes ownership of financial governance within FP&A, including accruals, allocations, and alignment between actuals, forecast, and budget.

Through a category-based approach and a delegated execution model, the role ensures outputs are accurate, timely, and suitable for consolidation and executive review, supporting close, forecast, and leadership decision-making processes.

A key aspect of the role is improving how planning operates across systems, processes, and ways of working, including leveraging automation, advanced analytics, and evolving AI capabilities to enhance efficiency, consistency, and scalability of planning delivery.

This role reports to the Head of FP&A Operations within the Global Finance organisation

Essential Functions/Responsibilities

Own the enterprise-wide in-year budget management and rolling forecast governance framework, including planning cadence, cycle design, and timelines.

Act as the accountable leader for planning governance compliance across the organisation, including approval of material judgement calls, exceptions, and deviations from standard planning rules.

Policy, Standards & Methodology Ownership

Own and maintain planning methodologies, category frameworks, drivers, and forecasting standards.

Ensure consistency of planning approaches across functions and oversee forecast quality, predictability, and stability across all planning cycles.

Set, enforce, and evolve enterprise planning standards and policies, with authority to require compliance and resolve material disputes in planning treatment.

Planning Delivery & Performance Integrity

Own the delivery and management of planning outputs, including explanation of key planning drivers and category-level performance.

Ensure that outputs across actuals, forecast, and budget are aligned and internally consistent, robust and explainable, and suitable for executive and functional reporting.

Accountable for the accuracy, completeness and integrity of planning outputs, including oversight of material adjustments, error remediation, and corrections where required.

Control, Risk & Financial Governance

Own the FP&A planning and actuals control environment, including governance of accruals, allocations, and alignment across planning and reporting cycles.

Act as the senior escalation point for planning-and actuals-related risk, control issues, and audit observations, ensuring timely remediation and sustained compliance.

Ensure outputs are produced within a controlled, auditable framework aligned to financial governance requirements.

Cross-Functional Planning Coordination

Act as a central coordination point across FP&A teams, ensuring alignment and consistency across planning activities.

Manage planning cadence, timelines, and dependencies across functions, resolving conflicts and ensuring delivery of a single, consistent set of outputs.

Ensure planning outputs are integrated across cost areas and aligned for enterprise consolidation and reporting.

Planning Transformation & Continuous Improvement

Lead the on-going transformation of Financial Planning & Performance Delivery across Global Finance, ensuring that planning processes, operating practices, and ways of working evolve in line with organisational and business needs.

Drive continuous improvement in how planning operates, with a focus on simplifying and standardising planning processes, improving scalability and consistency across planning cycles, and enhancing the quality, reliability, and usability of outputs.

Ensure planning frameworks and processes are designed to support efficient execution while maintaining strong governance and control.

Support the development of a more mature, consistent planning capability across the organisation, adapting approaches as business complexity and requirements evolve.

Technology, Automation & AI-Enabled Planning

Drive the evolution of planning through the effective use of technology, including financial systems, automation, advanced analytics, and emerging AI capabilities.

Identify and deliver opportunities to improve planning through automation of manual or repetitive processes, enhanced use of data and analytics to support planning accuracy and insight and application of AI and intelligent tools to identify patterns, improve forecast accuracy, and enhance consistency and efficiency of planning outputs.

Support the development of more forward-looking and adaptive planning processes, including the use of digital tools, automation, and AI-enabled workflows.

Work closely with Data & Technology teams to ensure systems and tools support planning requirements and are aligned to business needs.

Ensure that technology and AI are applied in practical, outcome-focused ways to improve planning delivery and enable better decision-making.

Team Leadership & Capability Direction

Lead and inspire the Financial Planning & Performance Delivery team, with accountability for capability, performance outcomes, and long-term sustainability.

Drive a structured, delivery-focused environment, ensuring clarity of roles and responsibilities, accountability for outputs, and consistent execution of planning activities.

Foster critical matrix relationships within FP&A Operations and across Global Finance.

Operate as a senior leader within Global Finance, contributing to the evolution of FP&A operating models and the continued improvement of planning maturity across the organisation.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Relevant financial or management qualification (MBA, qualified accountant or equivalent), with typically extensive operational experience required.

Deep expertise across FP&A, strategic finance, planning governance or financial operations experience.

Experience leading teams within a financial CoE or centralized planning environment.

Expert knowledge of forecasting methodologies, driver-based planning and planning governance.

Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to partner effectively across the enterprise and simplify complexity.

Demonstrated knowledge of financial systems including Oracle and SAP.

Exposure to automation, advanced analytics, or AI-enabled planning approaches preferred.

Willingness to travel internationally, including to our headquarters in Dublin.
