• Lead quarterly rolling forecasts and annual budget planning using Anaplan, in partnership with global stakeholders.
• Manage APAC marketing budgets, covering both variable and centrally owned spend, alongside the International Budget Lead.
• Track and report on marketing spend using Power BI dashboards, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce cost.
• Maintain and standardise foundational planning documents for APAC and drive adoption of consistent planning and operating models across the region.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience in marketing operations, strategy and operations, or a similar function, ideally within a large, matrixed global organisation.
• Hands-on budget management and financial planning experience, with proficiency in Anaplan or a comparable planning platform.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate stakeholders across time zones and manage complex, multi-market operating rhythms.
• Strong data driven reporting skills, with comfort using Power BI dashboards or similar tools.
• Excellent senior-level communication skills, with the ability to distil complexity into clear, actionable insights.
• Sydney based, with the ability to meet a 50% in-office expectation and flexibility for recurring evening calls with international teams.
• Experience in technology or SaaS environments, and within global enterprise organisations, is highly regarded.
