What you'll do:

As a Financial Planning Analyst, you will immerse yourself in the full spectrum of financial planning activities—ranging from budget creation to long-term forecasting—while ensuring that every recommendation you make is grounded in thorough analysis. Your day-to-day responsibilities will see you collaborating with various departments to gather data, build models that forecast future performance under different scenarios, and translate complex metrics into clear narratives for non-financial stakeholders.

• Lead the annual budgeting process as well as quarterly forecasting cycles and long-range financial planning initiatives to ensure robust financial management.
• Analyse complex financial and operational data sets to identify trends, variances, risks, and opportunities specific to the fast-evolving telecommunications industry.
• Monitor key performance indicators such as subscriber growth, churn rates, channel profitability, and product performance to provide actionable recommendations.
• Build, maintain, and enhance sophisticated financial models for forecasting scenarios and evaluating business cases that support strategic objectives.
• Prepare comprehensive reports and presentations for senior leadership teams, clearly communicating findings and offering practical recommendations for improvement.
• Partner closely with cross-functional teams including Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Technology to align financial plans with broader business goals.

What you bring:

To excel as a Financial Planning Analyst in this role, your background should reflect solid academic training in accounting or finance along with hands-on experience managing budgets or forecasts within complex organisations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or any related field demonstrating strong foundational knowledge of finance principles.
• Extensive proficiency in Microsoft Excel including advanced formulas, pivot tables, charting techniques, and data visualisation capabilities.
• Experience working with Python or SQL as well as familiarity with business intelligence dashboards is considered an advantage but not mandatory.
• Prior experience within the telecommunications industry is highly preferred due to the unique metrics and drivers involved in this sector.
• Exceptional ability to analyse large datasets efficiently—identifying key variables that impact performance—and distil them into actionable insights.
• Willingness to work on a hybrid set up based in Mandaluyong City with permanent night shift hours required for this position.
