Responsibilities
- Lead revenue budgeting, the rolling forecast, and Annual Operating Plan (AOP) submissions for North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico).
- Review North America revenue actuals once delivered by Global Accounting & Controllership, and direct variance analysis by channel and country versus budget/AOP, the latest rolling forecast, and prior year.
- Manage and develop the North America Revenue Analyst, consolidating channel- and country-level analysis into a single regional narrative for the Head of Revenue & SG&A.
- Partner with US channel and commercial finance teams — covering managed care organizations (MCOs), pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), fee-for-service (FFS) Medicaid, Medicare Part D, integrated delivery systems, cash-pay, mail order, and e-commerce — and with Canada and Mexico country leads on payer mix shifts, category trends, and distributor inventory (days-on-hand) dynamics that drive the forecast.
- Partner with the Growth Intelligence & BI team on pricing, consumer and commercial insights, and analytics that inform the North America revenue forecast, and with Sales Leadership on in-market execution, demand signals, and account-level dynamics.
- Use AI-enabled tools to accelerate forecasting, variance analysis, and scenario modeling — including flagging anomalies in actuals, drafting first-pass variance commentary, and stress-testing forecast assumptions — while independently validating outputs before they inform decisions or reporting.
- Assess the ROI of promotional expenses across North America, including PBM/MCO rebates, retail buydown programs, coupons, discounts, and distribution and vendor fees, partnering with commercial and trade teams to evaluate spend effectiveness and inform forecast assumptions.
- Partner with Market Access and Trade on payer contracting strategy, formulary and tender positioning, and rebate structures, translating contract terms and renewal timing into forecast and AOP assumptions.
- Present North America revenue performance, variance analysis, and forecast assumptions to senior and executive leadership, including CFO and Board-level reporting cycles.

- Experience partnering with Market Access or Trade on payer contracting strategy and rebate structures is a plus.
- Strong executive presentation skills, with experience presenting financial analysis and narratives to senior and executive leadership.
