  • Ensure timely financial milestone achievement in line with project plans.
  • Identify and correct mis bookings within actual project costs.
  • Forecast resourcing and manpower requirements by work package.
  • Monitor subcontractor financial milestones and major non-quality events.
  • Support program-wide financial consolidation efforts in collaboration with the Finance team.
  • Respond to ad hoc requests and contribute to ongoing process improvements.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Intermediate to advanced Excel skills.
  • SAP proficiency.
  • Strong team player with excellent communication skills, especially when working with non-finance stakeholders.
  • Previous experience in a project-based environment.
  • Highly numerate and confident in using various financial systems.

Desirable

  • Experience dealing with multiple currencies.
  • Fluency in a second European language (e.g., French or German) is a plus.
