Responsibilities

Perform variance analysis to explain movement in reported savings and maintain consistent messaging across business areas.
Prepare precise, presentation-ready materials for the oversight committee, ensuring figures are fully reconciled and defensible before submission.
Review SCA initiatives on an ongoing basis to confirm they abide by the SCA governance policy, flagging and resolving any gaps with the relevant region or initiative owner.

Maintain and periodically update SCA program guidebooks, policies, and reporting standards to ensure a consistent, well-documented framework.
Reconcile SCA savings reported in OneStream against regional submissions and prior systems, resolving variances (e.g., FX movement, TDC/scope exclusions) before they surface in leadership reporting.
Maintain the SCA Masterfile of initiatives by region and workstream extracted from OneStream, serving as the source of record for reporting and governance reviews.
Maintain an ongoing pulse on how SCA performance maps to broader business and plant performance, surfacing disconnects early.
Support the development of year-on-year SCA targets, ensuring they are realistic, ambitious, and aligned to business goals.
Support maintenance of the SLT SCA/SRM dashboard, ensuring leadership has an accurate, current view of performance between formal reporting cycles.

Work closely with IT and regional stakeholders throughout design, build, testing, and rollout to ensure the tool is fit for purpose and well adopted.
Conduct periodic targeted reviews of regional SCA initiatives to confirm P&L connectivity and the year-over-year sustainability of claimed savings, coordinating with other regional SCA reporting teams to prevent double-counting.
Build trusted working relationships with regional teams, acting as a collaborative partner rather than a pure auditor, so governance is embraced rather than resisted.
Provide regions with tools, templates, and guidance needed to self-report accurately, reducing rework and escalations during the reporting cycle.
