The role acts as a key thought partner to the CFO office and ExCom — translating complex business questions into structured analysis, deal architecture, and decision-ready recommendations.

Partner with Business Development, Growth and Commercial teams to pressure-test business cases, refine assumptions, and ensure proposals meet Group hurdle rates and capital efficiency benchmarks.</p>
<h4>Portfolio Optimization & Capital Allocation:</h4>
<p>Own the analytical engine behind the Group's capital allocation framework, ranking opportunities across brands, formats, and geographies on a risk-adjusted return basis. Lead portfolio performance reviews covering ROIC, economic profit, growth trajectories, and capital intensity, surfacing reallocation opportunities and underperformance for ExCom attention. Drive WACC and cost of capital analysis at Group and business-unit level, refining benchmarks used across investment appraisal and business case validation. Support capital structure work including leverage targets, funding mix, and balance sheet optimization in coordination with Group Treasury.</p>
