Regional FP&A Analyst

About the role

The Regional FP&A Analyst is a key member of the Americas FP&A team, reporting to the Regional FP&A Manager – Americas. The role combines hands-on ownership of core planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance-management activities with the coordination, validation, tracking, and maintenance required to deliver accurate and timely regional FP&A processes.

This is an opportunity for an experienced, commercially curious analyst to work across markets, brands, and functions and turn financial and operational data into clear insights for decision-making. The successful candidate will be expected to deliver core responsibilities independently under the guidance of the Regional FP&A Manager and, as knowledge and capability develop, take greater ownership of selected forecasts, models, performance reviews, process improvements, and insight-led recommendations to senior management.
