About this role 

To manage Make FP&A performance insight and decision support by converting manufacturing cost drivers, production activity, process-order performance and variance data into clear, action-oriented analysis for Make leaders, regional teams and functional cost owners.

The role supports the Prism Make agenda by reducing dependency on manual, fragmented Excel work and strengthening standardized, driver-based and self-service performance management. It ensures Make performance discussions explain what happened, why it happened, so what it means, what action is required, who owns it and by when.

• Maintain driver-based views of manufacturing performance, including production volume, routing/activity assumptions, conversion rates, BOM/routing impacts, standard cost movements and cost-center trends.
• Support scenarios linked to production plans, site performance, SKU mix, efficiency changes, productivity actions and one-off operational impacts.

3. Drive Prism adoption and standard ways of working
• Promote standard Prism dashboards, routines, taxonomy, KPI definitions and data-quality controls for Make performance management.
• Challenge duplicate manual reports, repeated reconciliations and local workarounds, escalating improvement opportunities to the Make Director and Process COE.
• Work with Performance Managers and regional teams to ensure Make outputs are understood, adopted and converted into accountable business actions.

4. Partner with Manufacturing, Costing and regional Finance
• Partner with Supply Operations, Manufacturing, Costing, Performance Managers and regional Supply Finance teams to understand root causes behind Make performance.
• Translate complex SAP, process-order, cost-center and operational information into simple messages for business stakeholders.

5. Improve data quality, controls and continuous improvement
• Validate Make data products and MVP logic, including SAP / Material Ledger / process-order / cost-center data and DDH / Databricks industrialized outputs.
• Document process logic, assumptions, data lineage and analytical definitions so outputs are transparent, repeatable and auditable.
• Contribute to Lean, automation and AI-enabled improvement opportunities that reduce cycle time, improve insight quality and strengthen Make cost-owner accountability.
