POSITION OVERVIEW

This is a key role within the North America Finance team acting as a key business partner to the General Manager for Convatec Canada while reporting to Sr Director (Finance Business Partner) for AWC North America.
You are the primary interface into Finance for the business teams, providing insights, identifying new opportunities and driving business performance as you support the long-term strategy for the business. Your key accountability is to partner with your business partner(s) to drive commercial performance outcomes against plans, forecasts, and strategic objectives. This is an individual contributor role, which may or may not have line manager responsibilities. You will be a trusted and relied upon partner, respected for your commercial acumen and your ability to provide succinct but powerful storytelling, with actionable insight.
You will be the face of Finance for your business stakeholders, connecting them, where appropriate, with your finance colleagues within GBS or the wider Finance team to solve the problems that don’t fall within the accountabilities of the FBP e.g., statutory accounting, tax and controlling activities.
Within Finance, you are the business advocate, focusing beyond the finance boundaries and leading on cross-functional collaboration. Key is the overt ownership of relationships with multiple stakeholders, consistently building executive confidence by showing yourself to be an expert in the relevant market.
