Finance Manager, MENA Finance

About the Role
The company's MENA business is experiencing rapid growth, and as a Finance Manager, you will play a crucial role in shaping financial decisions that will impact the region. You will be responsible for financial controls, planning cycles, and analytical frameworks that ensure the business stays on track while providing senior leaders with the insights they need to make informed decisions.

You will develop and maintain financial models, forecasts, and reporting tools that link operational performance to financial outcomes, transforming complex data into actionable recommendations. Collaborating with finance and business functions across the region and global teams, you will identify efficiency opportunities, challenge assumptions, and lead analytical projects from scoping to presenting findings to senior leadership.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Develop both short- and long-term financial and operational plans that support business priorities, aligning inputs with senior stakeholders worldwide
• Own mechanisms for inspecting growth and profitability, including controllership and approval processes to manage day-to-day performance
• Build financial and operational analyses, forecasts, and models that connect operational goals to financials and influence senior leadership decisions
• Turn financial data into insights, identify efficiency opportunities, and present recommendations that drive business actions
• Partner with senior business and finance stakeholders across functions, offering strategic guidance, decision support, and constructive challenge
• Lead key analytical projects from beginning to end, overseeing timelines, priorities, quality, and issue resolution
• Invent, simplify, and automate management reporting and team tools, working with business owners and Business Intelligence teams to standardize processes and share knowledge
• Establish review routines with local business teams, including the rollout and training on tools, and assist in onboarding new team members

A Day in the Life
Your day may begin with a thorough analysis of the previous week's performance data, pinpointing a variance that requires explanation ahead of a senior leadership review scheduled for later. In between, you might refine a forecast model with a business partner, collaborate with the business intelligence team on an automated report, or guide a new team member through a planning tool. Each day will be unique, but at the core of your role will be the effort to turn data into decisions that advance the MENA business.

About the Team
The MENA Finance team is positioned at the heart of one of the company's most strategically significant growth regions. The team works closely with business leaders to provide the financial insights and controls essential for critical decisions ranging from daily performance management to long-term planning. You will be joining a team that values rigorous analysis, acts swiftly, and is committed to building a solid financial foundation for a still-evolving business. This role offers you the opportunity to influence processes, rather than merely execute against an existing playbook.
