Job Description

Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?

Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It Uniquely Yours.

We're looking for a Manager Finance Planning & Performance Management to join our Iberia Finance team. This is a high-impact role at the heart of our category strategy; you'll be the financial partner that our Marketing teams rely on to turn plans into profitable growth.

Reporting to the Finance Director Iberia, you'll own the financial planning and analysis for our product categories across the Spanish and Portuguese markets. You'll work closely with Marketing, Demand Planning, and the broader finance team to ensure that every plan, forecast, and investment decision is grounded in solid financials and aligned with the company's objectives.

You'll be the person Marketing turns to when they need the financial case behind a new product launch, a pricing change, or an A&C investment. Your ability to translate strategy into clear financial outcomes, and to flag risks and opportunities early, will directly shape the decisions that drive our business forward.

This role also carries a broader coordination dimension. You'll support the harmonization and consolidation of planning and actuals across categories in Iberia, ensuring a coherent financial picture for senior leadership.

You'll prepare the financial bridges and insights that inform the monthly demand cycles and the Annual Contract process, working with agility in a fast-moving environment where requirements evolve and flexibility is essential.

While this is not a people management role, as a senior member of the team you'll be expected to exercise influence, coordinate across functions, and mentor more junior colleagues , helping them develop their skills and confidence while ensuring the team delivers consistently.

How you will contribute

You will:

Be a senior finance partner to Marketing teams: own the financial analysis and planning for product categories in Iberia, ensuring that marketing proposals, product launches, pricing changes, or A&C investments are backed by robust financial assumptions and aligned with company targets
Lead the financial planning and forecasting cycle: play a key role in preparing the Annual Contract (AC), monthly rolling forecasts (RF), and strategic forecasts (SF), working in close coordination with Commercial Finance and Demand Planning teams through the monthly IBP cycle
Deliver insightful analysis of actual results: prepare clear variance analysis and financial bridges, identify opportunities and risks, and communicate them proactively to the Finance Director and Marketing stakeholders
Own the consolidation and harmonization of category financials: maintain reporting decks, NPD trackers, and consolidated views across categories in Iberia, ensuring a coherent and reliable financial picture for senior leadership
Monitor and control A&C expenditures: review spending requests, track budgets against plan, and ensure compliance with Mondelēz policies to guarantee the reliability of financial reporting
Support investment decisions: help review and allocate investments in the P&L to drive growth and accretive margin, providing the financial lens on marketing decisions
Drive continuous improvement: identify opportunities to make planning, reporting, and consolidation processes faster and smarter and bring ideas to the table
Coordinate and mentor: as a senior member of the team, share your expertise, help coordinate workload and priorities, and support the development of more junior colleagues

What you will bring

Skills and competencies:

Strong interpersonal and communication skills: you'll work daily with Marketing and Demand Planning leads, translating financial complexity into clear, persuasive guidance. Your ability to build trust and influence across functions is key
Strategic thinking: the ability to see beyond the numbers, understand business drivers, and connect financial analysis to business outcomes. You'll be expected to challenge assumptions and bring a point of view on where to invest and where to protect margin
Informal leadership: while not a management role, you'll coordinate across functions and mentor junior team members. You lead by example, share your knowledge generously, and help the team develop further their skills and confidence
Business acumen: a deep understanding of how an FMCG business works; from product launches and pricing to A&C investment and product costs
Resilience and ownership: you'll operate in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities and evolving requirements. You take ownership of your deliverables and keep things on track, even when the landscape shifts
Integrity: sound judgement in all decisions, aligned with our values, policies, and external regulations
