AFM National Finance Operations + Digital Execution

Background and Purpose of the Job

This role manages the end to end planning of our ~$3B Trade Spend Budget across US and Canada (Pigment).

Without this role, there is financial and control risk of forecasting and accruing accurately on a monthly basis.

This role plays a leading role in 2027 planning and system support (Pigment), which requires specific skill set. Without this role, there is risk of not having an accurate 2027 Operating Plan, proper accrual / trade reporting, and CD financial support.

We are currently already holding open one 1C (Hamza's box) which is creating an increase in workload across the broader CD Ops team.

What You´ll do

• This role is the lead for Pigment support, design and execution across US and Canada. System expertise is directly correlated with the following trade function and controls which is outlined within our audit policy (Policy Numbers) :
• US and Canada Trade Budget / Accrual Creation
• TMT (Trade Management Tool) : Trade requests and tracking
• MBR (Monthly Business Review) : CD in-month forecasting and trade management across all BU's
• Zero Day Close : Month end close trade entries and accrual management
• System support (Pigment) is extremely limited while more core functionality is integrated into the platform creating potential for knowledge and support gaps
• This role will be vital in Project Mirai, including transition to live accruals, master data preparation and system expertise

What You´ll need to suceed

• Bachelor's degree in Data Analytics, Data Science, Information Technology, Business Analytics, Finance, or a related field.
