FP&A Senior Manager – Strategic Financial Leadership for a Dynamic Global Group

Join Salasa Group as our FP&A Senior Manager, where you will drive financial strategy, operational excellence, and data-driven decision-making across a complex, high-growth business ecosystem. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this pivotal role demands a strategic mindset, analytical rigor, and the ability to translate financial insights into actionable business outcomes. You will lead the financial planning, performance management, and reporting functions for a diversified group comprising operating entities, an ADGM holding company, multiple warehouse facilities, and distinct business verticals—including standard fulfillment, bonded-zone fulfillment, and cross-border logistics networks.

In this dynamic environment, you will be responsible for shaping the Group’s financial roadmap, ensuring alignment between operational performance and financial objectives. Your expertise will be instrumental in delivering robust budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting that empowers leadership to navigate challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and drive sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities

As the FP&A Senior Manager, your role will encompass:

• Strategic Financial Planning and Budgeting: Own the end-to-end annual Group budgeting and planning process, encompassing revenue projections, margin analysis, operational expenditures (OPEX), headcount planning, capital expenditures (CAPEX), working capital management, cash flow forecasting, and balance sheet optimization. Develop driver-based budgets that challenge commercial and operational assumptions, ensuring seamless alignment between volume growth, capacity utilization, workforce allocation, cost structures, and financial performance.
• Advanced Forecasting and Scenario Analysis: Lead rolling forecasts, full-year outlooks, and long-range planning while developing base, upside, and downside scenarios. Proactively identify financial risks and opportunities, quantifying their potential impact to inform strategic decision-making.
• Performance Reporting and Variance Analysis: Oversee the month-end management reporting cycle, ensuring timely, accurate, and insightful delivery of consolidated financial performance metrics to the CFO and executive leadership. Prepare comprehensive reports—including P&L statements, balance sheets, cash flow analyses, budget/forecast variances, and operational KPIs—across legal entities, business verticals, and warehouse facilities. Conduct rigorous variance analyses to explain deviations in revenue, pricing, customer mix, margins, productivity, labor costs, logistics, occupancy, technology investments, and CAPEX, while recommending corrective actions.
• Financial Consolidation and Audit Coordination: Coordinate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and Group consolidations, managing intercompany transactions, eliminations, and Group-level adjustments. Collaborate closely with the Accounting team to enforce a disciplined month-end close process, covering revenue recognition, accruals, payroll, prepayments, fixed assets, intercompany reconciliations, bank settlements, provisions, and balance-sheet adjustments. Act as the primary Finance liaison for external auditors, facilitating audit schedules, providing financial statement support, and ensuring timely submission of documentation and management responses.
• Cash Flow and Liquidity Management: Maintain real-time visibility over cash flow, liquidity, and working capital, monitoring receivables, collections, payables, CAPEX commitments, and funding requirements to support operational and strategic initiatives.
• Decision Support and Financial Modeling: Provide data-driven insights and financial modeling to evaluate new customer acquisitions, pricing strategies, warehouse expansions, vertical diversification, and strategic investments. Leverage advanced analytical tools to support leadership in making informed, high-impact decisions.
• Process Automation and Reporting Innovation: Drive the standardization and automation of FP&A and management reporting using ERP systems, advanced Excel, Power BI, and other FP&A tools. Establish scalable, traceable, and user-friendly reporting structures that enhance transparency and operational efficiency.

Key Deliverables

Your contributions will directly deliver:

• Consolidated Group management accounts with granular visibility by legal entity, business vertical, and facility.
• Comprehensive P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting, including working capital and liquidity metrics.
• Budget vs. actual and forecast vs. actual analyses, enabling data-backed performance evaluations.
• Rolling forecasts and latest estimates to support agile decision-making.
