Are you ready for your new challenges?

As the Business Planning & Reporting manager, you will act as a key contributor to the financial planning and reporting activities of Nestlé Nordics. Using financial data and analyses, you will help to create transparency and generate insights to support the decision-making in the organization. Your activities will include the production and distribution of timely, accurate, and relevant management reporting, as well as preparation of different ad-hoc analyses. You will also actively participate to the journey of automating reporting and bringing our Business Intelligence capabilities to the next level within the area of controlling.

Your overall responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating and carrying out smooth and efficient reporting processes of financial information across the organization, both in terms of information content and reporting tool.
• Coordinating Dynamic Forecast (DF) activities across Nestlé businesses in the Nordics, including supporting the business Co-pilots in ensuring the delivery of high-quality reporting.
• Developing and maintaining robust reporting frameworks, dashboards, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor business performance and highlight areas for improvement.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to gather data, identify trends, and recommend actionable strategies for continuous improvement.
• Acting as a central point of contact between the Market and the Corporate Centre (Vevey, Switzerland) in relation to reporting issues.
• Promoting the implementation and best usage of Decision Support related Information Systems (i.e., OSOT, SAP, BW, DF Tool, and PCM) across the company.
• Managing a team of two analysts, providing guidance, mentoring, and fostering a culture of excellence.

In this role, you will have many touchpoints to different internal stakeholders, such as the Costing Manager, Business Controllers, Sales Controllers, Head of Decision Support, and the CFO.

Do you want to be our new colleague?

This role is embedded in the Nordic Decision Support team, which consists of two sub-teams; the Costing team with five team members responsible for the planning and reporting of general overheads costs (MOGE) and COGS, and the coordination of period-end closing (PoE) for all our Nordic businesses; and the Planning & Reporting team, which you will become part of and manage. This position is based at our Nordic Head Office in Ørestad, Copenhagen, and you will report to the Nordic Head of Decision Support.

Our Finance organization is fast-moving and professional, but with an informal and collegial tone. People are our greatest asset and teamwork is key to our success. In this role, you will be able to create a large network across global functions and the local organization. In some periods, the work pace is high, but we always have fun together and ensure a good balance between our working lives and private lives.

What Will Make You Successful

To be successful in this role, it is key that you have excellent stakeholder management skills and strong customer focus, as many colleagues will depend on your support.

Furthermore, you:

• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, or a related field (as a minimum – Master’s degree preferred).
• Have proven experience in business planning, financial analysis, and reporting, ideally in a managerial capacity.
• Have strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex data into meaningful insights.
• Are proficient in financial modeling, forecasting, and budgeting techniques.
• Are highly proficient in Microsoft Excel. Experience with SAP, Power BI and other consolidation tools will be seen as an advantage.
