As the Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis, you will play a pivotal role in leading the forecasting and reporting for our company's research and development (R&D) initiatives, while also supporting the initiatives within our supply chain operations. This position requires a collaborative approach, as you will work closely with R&D and supply chain leadership to develop and manage budgets, analyze project performance, and provide strategic financial insights that are essential for fostering innovation and driving business growth. Your expertise in US pharmaceutical R&D processes, strong project management skills, and excellent financial acumen will be critical in partnering with key stakeholders across the organization to achieve these goals. In this role, you will be responsible for financial planning and reporting, which includes partnering with R&D and supply chain leadership to create annual budgets, latest estimates, and long-term strategic plans. You will ensure that all submissions are supported by detailed initiatives and that deadlines are met in a timely manner. Monitoring and tracking R&D and supply chain project spending against budgets will be a key responsibility, along with providing standard financial analysis and reporting on the progress and performance of R&D projects, including variance analysis. You will also identify opportunities to optimize resources and improve cost efficiency, preparing financial models on R&D pipeline products to support the financial viability of investments, including ROI analysis, break-even analysis, and peak revenue assessments. Your role will also encompass project management, where you will implement processes to accurately track and report R&D expenses by project, activity, and department. Collaborating closely with project managers and cross-functional teams will be essential to ensure the timely and accurate recording of project costs. You will conduct variance analysis to identify key drivers and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to supply chain costs, inventory levels, and working capital to identify risks and opportunities for continuous improvement. Strategic financial planning and decision support will be another critical aspect of your role. You will assist R&D leadership in evaluating new investment opportunities and assessing the financial feasibility of R&D projects. Developing business models to support decision-making on R&D portfolio management, resource planning, and technology investments will be part of your responsibilities. Additionally, you will provide strategic financial insights and recommendations to senior management to optimize R&D strategy and drive innovation. Partnering with the supply chain team to assess financial risks within the supply chain, including evaluating current and new supplier financial stability, currency risk, and commodity price volatility, will also be essential, as you provide proactive recommendations to mitigate these risks. Finally, you will analyze working capital metrics and cash flow drivers within R&D and supply chain, including inventory management, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Developing strategies to optimize working capital performance, minimize working capital requirements, and improve the cash conversion cycle will be key to your success in this role.
