You will move between deep operational analysis, profitability improvement initiatives, and high-visibility projectsincluding managing our performance narrative for industry analysts (e.g., Everest Group). **Key Responsibilities** - Operational & Financial Analysis: Conduct deep-dive analysis of operational performance against financial plans. Identify trends, variances, and "red flags" before they become issues. - Special Projects & Profitability: Lead ad-hoc initiatives focused on margin expansion, cost optimization, and process improvements across the business. - Analyst Relations Support: Coordinate the gathering and synthesis of complex data sets for industry analyst briefings (Everest, Gartner, etc.) to ensure our market-leading capabilities are accurately reflected. - Information Orchestration: Act as a central point of contact to coordinate information gathering across various departments, ensuring leadership has a "single source of truth" for decision-making. - Executive Support: Prepare high-level presentations and briefings for the leadership team, translating complex financial data into actionable business insights. **Required Qualifications & Skills** - Experience: 812+ years of experience in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), Business Finance, or Strategic Operations. - Industry: Experience in the BPO or Professional Services sector is highly preferred. - Technical Mastery: Expert-level Excel skills are mandatory. You must be comfortable navigating complex ERPs and financial systems (training will be provided on proprietary tools). - Communication: Exceptional English communication skills. You must be comfortable "managing up" and collaborating with senior executives. - The "Special Projects" Mindset: A proven track record of managing ambiguous projects from conception to completion without a pre-defined roadmap. - **Immediate joiners and candidates with a notice period of up to one month are preferred.** **Why This Role?** This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned pro who wants to move beyond routine month-end cycles. You will have a seat at the table with top leadership, influence global strategy, and handle projects that directly impact our market standing and profitability.
