What you'll do:

• Collaborate with financial planning, operations, and business teams to develop annual budgets and monthly reforecasts for operational assets across the renewable energy portfolio.
• Provide detailed analysis of financial results by explaining variances between actuals, budgets, and forecasts while recommending corrective actions to influence future outcomes.
• Partner with various business groups to enhance understanding of financial results as well as risks and opportunities related to current forecasts, ensuring effective communication of findings.
• Perform ad hoc analyses and respond to requests that support business activities and informed decision-making throughout the organisation.
• Support the ongoing development and automation of reporting tools and templates used by the financial planning team.
