- You develop and maintain budgets, forecasts and long‑term financial models that are fully aligned with the overall portfolio strategy.
- Portfolio objectives are translated into robust financial plans, while capital allocation and new investments are assessed through solid business case analyses such as NPV, ROI and payback.
- An active role is taken in the portfolio steering process as well as in regular review sessions for development projects.
- The analysis of variances between actuals and forecasted figures at both portfolio and segment level forms an important basis for informed decision‑making.
- You generate clear insights into revenue trends, cost efficiencies and ROI and share them transparently with the business.
- Close collaboration with product and solution managers, R&D and commercial teams ensures that financial targets and portfolio strategy remain fully aligned.
