The Finance Manager runs the planning, forecasting, and performance analysis that inform decisions at the highest levels of the organization. The role is the primary operator of the corporate financial model, using it to produce the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and long-range financial plans at both the asset and consolidated levels, and it delivers the monthly management reporting package used by senior leadership. The role partners closely with operations and accounting to translate operational data into accurate, actionable projections, and presents analyses and results directly to senior management and the executive team. The Finance Manager also serves as a technical resource across the finance organization, providing guidance on complex, cross-functional issues and advancing the use of automation and AI-powered tools throughout the finance workflow.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Runs the corporate financial model as a primary operator - executing budget, forecast, long-range planning, scenario, and transaction cases, validating inputs and outputs, and documenting the assumptions behind each run so results are reproducible and defensible.

• Builds the annual budget and quarterly forecasts at both asset and consolidated levels, coordinating inputs across operations, accounting, marketing, and treasury, pressure-testing assumptions against historical performance for each planning cycle.

• Performs budget and forecast variance analysis and reconciliation, bridging plan-to-actual and period-over-period movements by driver and tying forecast outputs to reported results.

• Analyzes operational and financial performance against plan, including all inputs that underpin the company's financials.

• Reviews the pricing, differential, and marketing contract assumptions used in the forecast, and tracks realized pricing to explain variances and refine forward assumptions.

• Runs sensitivities, modeling the effect of commodity price, cost, activity, and capital assumptions on operating cash flow, free cash flow, leverage, and liquidity, and framing the downside and upside cases for leadership.

• Tracks performance against publicly issued guidance ranges and internal targets, surfacing risks and opportunities to leadership ahead of each reporting cycle.

• Defines and maintains the KPI set used to evaluate performance across assets and the consolidated business, and benchmarks financial and operational results against peers.

• Prepares board and executive presentation materials, translating complex analysis into clear, decision-ready narrative, and presents analyses and results to senior management.

• Supports treasury and investor relations, reviewing financial analysis behind treasury decisions and developing the tools, processes, and presentations used to manage quarterly investor calls.

• Drives automation and process improvement, supports evaluation and implementation of ERP and financial planning systems, and advances the adoption of AI-powered tools across the finance workflow.
