Business Planning & Analysis Manager

Ready to bring structure, insight, and financial rigour to a large-scale operations environment where your numbers genuinely shape the decisions that get made?

This is an opportunity to join the finance team of a major downstream oil operation, taking ownership of planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance measurement across a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. You'll work closely with engineering, project administration, and joint venture partners, and report directly into the Head of Finance for the division. It's a role for someone who wants their financial analysis to drive real operational decisions - not just report on them after the fact.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the development, consolidation, and alignment of the division's business plans, ensuring budgets are congruent with strategy and Group guidelines and timelines.
• Determining OPEX and CAPEX forecast requirements and managing the division's OPEX and CAPEX plans end-to-end.
• Consolidating, analysing, and reporting financial and management results, using data and reporting systems to enable sound business decisions and manage profitability.
• Interpreting OPEX and CAPEX performance, identifying problem areas, and recommending corrective action to management.
• Managing the monthly capital expenditure process with Engineering and project administration teams, including asset capitalisation and Asset Register integrity.
• Maintaining the integrity of balance sheet accounts through regular analysis and reconciliation of balance sheet movements.
• Overseeing OPEX and CAPEX for joint ventures, ensuring financial plans align with JV partners and are executed within agreed budgets, timelines, and governance frameworks.
• Acting as a key finance point of contact for internal stakeholders, service providers, and contractors, ensuring deliverables are met.
• Contributing to talent, performance, and resource management within the finance team to build capability and engagement.
