Brief Description

The Director, Reporting & Insights (R&I) Lead is the enterprise owner of the FP&A insights operating model, accountable for ensuring that financial and operational insights across Global Finance are coherent, prioritised, and decision‐relevant. The role defines the enterprise‐level direction on what performance insights matter most, how they are interpreted and framed, and how competing signals are resolved to support senior leadership decision‐making. The role also ensures that reporting and insight outputs are structured, consistent, and delivered effectively at scale across the organisation, through standardised tools, platforms, and frameworks.

This is not a traditional reporting or dashboard production role focused on generating outputs in isolation. Instead, the role combines insight leadership with accountability for how reporting and analytics are delivered, ensuring that outputs are scalable, consistent, and usable by stakeholders to support clear, timely decision‐making. The role leads the Reporting & Insights Partner team and the Reporting & Analytics Enablement Lead, ensuring that insights are consistently structured and prioritised, KPI frameworks and performance narratives are aligned, and reporting and analytics outputs operate as a coordinated, enterprise‐wide capability.

A key aspect of the role is evolving how insights are delivered at scale, including leveraging automation, advanced analytics, and AI to improve the speed, consistency, and impact of decision‐making across Global Finance. This role reports to the Head of FP&A Operations within the Global Finance organization.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities

• Enterprise Insight Direction & Prioritization: Own enterprise‐level prioritisation of reporting and insights demand, setting clear direction on which performance themes, risks, opportunities, and scenarios require focus based on business impact and leadership needs. Resolve trade‐offs across competing functional insight demands, providing clear guidance on what is elevated, deferred, or deprioritised to ensure focus on the most critical enterprise issues.
• Insight Governance & Coherence: Ensure enterprise insight governance, KPI frameworks and interpretation standards are consistently applied across functions, enabling a single, coherent enterprise performance view. Act as the escalation point where insight interpretations, KPI signals, or performance narratives conflict across functions or stakeholders.
• Enterprise Leadership Engagement & Storytelling: Partner closely with Corporate FP&A to shape and challenge enterprise‐level performance narratives, including Executive Committee and Board materials, ensuring insights are analytically sound, prioritised, and clearly framed. Anticipate senior leadership information needs and proactively guide the insight agenda to support forward‐looking strategic decision‐making.
• Alignment Across FP&A Capabilities: Ensure alignment between financial planning and forecast outputs, gross margin and cost performance, and functional insights. Ensure that planning outputs, margin analysis, and functional insights are integrated into a consistent enterprise interpretation, rather than fragmented functional perspectives.
• Reporting & Insight Delivery: Ensure that reporting outputs, dashboards, and insight delivery are aligned to enterprise priorities, consistent across functions, and delivered through scalable and standardised tools and platforms. Work closely with the Reporting & Analytics Enablement Lead and Data & Technology teams to improve reporting consistency and usability, prioritise enhancements to reporting and analytics capability, and support adoption of standardised reporting approaches.
• Technology, Automation & AI-Driven Insight Evolution: Drive the evolution of insight delivery through automation of reporting and data processes, enhanced use of analytics and data and application of AI to improve insight generation, interpretation, and delivery, including identifying trends, anomalies, and opportunities within complex data sets. Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve speed and responsiveness of insight and enhance forward‐looking and predictive capabilities. Ensure that technology and AI are applied in practical, business‐relevant ways to improve decision‐making, not as standalone initiatives.
• Team Leadership & Capability Direction: Lead and inspire the Reporting & Insights team, providing direction on prioritisation, judgement, and insight quality, ensuring consistent capability across the team. Foster critical matrix relationships within FP&A Operations and across Global Finance to ensure high‐quality, decision‐relevant insights.
