The Senior Manager, Global Revenue Planning & Consolidation will play a critical role within Customer, Revenue & Tech Finance, acting as the global owner and steward of the CR&T revenue forecast. This role brings together regional forecasts, commercial insight and Corporate FP&A requirements into one trusted global view of revenue performance, outlook, risks and opportunities. The role is the single link between Corporate FP&A and CR&T Finance on revenue, bookings and NFM, ensuring the organization has a clear, consistent and well-governed view of the numbers. The successful candidate will combine strong revenue forecasting expertise, analytical depth, executive storytelling and stakeholder influence. This is not a role that simply produces forecasts; it owns the global revenue forecast, challenges the assumptions behind it and ensures senior leadership has the insight needed to make informed decisions.

  • Coordinate effectively with Regional Finance, Business Partnering Enablement, CR&T VP, CR&T Directors & Corporate Finance.

  • Own consolidated revenue variance analysis across actuals, forecast, budget and prior periods.
  • Identify trends, risks and opportunities across the global revenue base and translate them into clear, actionable insight.
  • Develop concise executive-ready materials for leadership reviews, forecast discussions, planning cycles and strategic updates.
  • Present revenue performance and outlook with clarity, confidence and a clear point of view.
• Scenario Planning, Modelling & Strategic Analysis
  • Own global ad-hoc analysis and modelled revenue views, including GREET and other strategic planning requirements, with regional input.
  • Run group-level scenarios to evaluate the impact of changes in demand, bookings, pricing, capacity and other revenue drivers.
  • Support long-range planning, annual budget, quarterly forecasts and strategic initiatives with robust modelling and clear recommendations.
  • Translate complex analytical outputs into decision-ready insight for senior stakeholders.
• Process Partnership & Enablement Alignment
  • Act as the business owner for global consolidation requirements, ensuring BPE outputs support forecast governance, leadership review and decision-making needs.
  • Partner with Business Partnering Enablement to shape and adopt standardized models, reporting packs, automation, AI and Power BI tools that improve the quality, consistency and efficiency of global revenue forecasting.
  • Provide clear feedback on BPE-built analytics, models and process outputs to ensure they are practical, scalable and aligned to the global revenue forecast process.
  • Ensure strong handoffs between Regional Teams, Global Consolidation and BPE so forecasts, budgets and leadership materials are delivered with clear ownership and accountability.
