The Opportunity
We are seeking a Commercial Finance Senior Analyst to drive business growth in the Philippines through actionable financial insights, partnering closely with stakeholders to exceed performance targets. This role sits in FP&A to ensure strong governance and a single set of numbers (“one number, one story”). The role builds GTN and trade investment foundations, standard definitions, and a repeatable insight cadence while partnering closely with Sales and Marketing.
Key Accountabilities & Performance Indicators
Governance & control non-negotiables
- Forecast governance: FP&A remains the single owner of the official forecast; Commercial Finance owns the commercial drivers/inputs and must avoid parallel numbers.
- Trade spend governance: agreed approval limits, pre-event sign-off, post-event review for key events, and periodic claims validation to reduce leakage.
- GTN controls: standard GTN buckets, documented assumptions, monthly accrual process, ageing and reconciliation cadence, and evidence-based adjustments.
- Data integrity: master data hygiene (customer hierarchy, promo classification, pricing/terms) with defined owners and change control.
- Compliance: adhere to internal control framework, Delegation of Authority, and applicable industry/regulatory requirements.
Key deliverables & operating cadence
- Weekly: commercial tracker refresh (sales, promo, spend), risks & opportunities log, key decision support for active negotiations/promotions.
- Monthly: GTN waterfall and accrual review; customer/channel profitability review; commercial performance pack and deep-dive; forecast driver alignment with FP&A; variance analysis and action tracking.
- Quarterly: trade and claims reconciliation; ROI and effectiveness reviews for top investments; pricing/terms review; governance forum effectiveness check.
- Annual: budget support; strategic plan inputs; trade strategy and A&P effectiveness assessment; benefits tracking and lessons learned roll-up.
