By ensuring a clear line of sight between strategic goals and day-to-day financial activities, we enable efficient performance management and better business results through the collaboration of our people, processes, and systems.

About the role

As a Senior Officer in the Finance CoE, you will report into a Finance Manager and be part of a team of analysts supporting a portfolio of markets. In this role, you will play a key part in executing financial planning and reporting activities across these markets. You will support the creation of standardized reports, development of initial forecasts/budgets, and analysis of financial performance to enable data-driven decision-making.

This position offers a unique opportunity to gain broad exposure to multiple markets while contributing to the centralization and improvement of Reckitt’s FP&A processes. If you are passionate about finance, data analysis, and continuous improvement, this role will allow you to grow and make a real impact on our global business.

Your responsibilities

• Produce and consolidate financial reports for monthly and quarterly results, ensuring key performance metrics (sales, profitability, costs, etc.) are accurately reported and delivered on time to global and regional stakeholders.

• Conduct variance analysis (actuals vs. forecast vs. budget) and clearly explain drivers behind the numbers, highlighting trends and insights that inform business decisions.

• Support the planning and forecasting cycles, including annual budgets and periodic forecasts: coordinate data collection from different markets, validate submissions, and align assumptions with global guidelines to create a cohesive financial outlook.

• Manage and enhance financial dashboards and reports (e.g. in Power BI or similar tools) to provide users with intuitive, up-to-date views of financial performance. Ensure that dashboards capture the right KPIs and that data is consistent across all reporting outputs.

• Participate in finance transformation initiatives by identifying opportunities to streamline and improve existing FP&A processes. You’ll contribute to standardizing report templates, automating manual tasks, and sharing best practices that elevate our CoE’s efficiency and impact.

• Collaborate closely with market finance teams and other CoE members to ensure data integrity and one-source-of-truth in our financial systems. You will act as a liaison, helping local teams understand CoE processes and troubleshooting data or reporting issues to maintain accuracy.

• Assist with ad-hoc analysis and projects as needed, such as deep-dives into specific expenses or trends, scenario modeling for strategic projects, or financial deck preparation for senior leadership meetings. Your ability to turn data into actionable insights will be key in these projects.

• Adapt and excel in a dynamic environment – our CoE is continually evolving. You’ll be expected to handle last-minute changes or requests, work under tight deadlines especially during key reporting periods, and maintain a high standard of quality. In doing so, you’ll demonstrate agility, teamwork, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

The experience we're looking for

• 2-3years of experience in finance, analytics, or a related field, ideally within the CPG sector.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with reporting tools (e.g., Power BI).

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to work with large datasets.

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
