Job Title: Supply FP&A Manager

Contract: permanent

Location: Budapest

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.

The Make FP&A Manager will support implementation and continuous improvement of Prism dashboards, process routines and data products, working closely with the Make Director, Performance Managers, Manufacturing, Costing, Data, D&T and regional Supply Finance teams.

• • Prepare senior-ready Make performance narratives and support action-oriented reviews with clear ownership of follow-up actions.

2. Lead Make planning, forecasting and scenario support

• • Coordinate AOP, forecast and latest-estimate inputs for Make cost areas, ensuring production assumptions, activity drivers and cost movements are transparent and aligned with standard Prism logic.
• • 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.
• • Support cost-owner accountability by connecting variance analysis to actions, risks, opportunities and productivity delivery.

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.

What you'll bring

• • University / college degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, Supply Chain, Engineering or related field.
• • 5+ years of experience in FP&A, supply finance, manufacturing finance, controlling, performance reporting or business analytics; experience in FMCG or complex manufacturing environments preferred.

• • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with confidence to challenge constructively and influence without direct authority.
• • Lean / continuous improvement mindset, with a focus on removing waste, improving repeatability and strengthening controls.
