**Department:** DMO/DFA - Sport

## Description

To support the Director FP&A in the budgeting, planning, project accounting, and performance reporting agenda across the Sports asset portfolio, with a strong grounding in construction and development-stage financial management.

The role drives system-led automation and standardization, with a strong focus on SAP and PRISM, ensuring a single version of the truth for TDC, cash flow, funding, and financial performance. The role acts as the financial integrator between Development, PMO, Commercial, Risk, Treasury, Development teams, and IT.

**Key Responsibilities**

**1\. Budgeting & Forecasting**

-   Lead annual, multi-year, and rolling budget processes across assets and BUs, covering pre-development, construction and delivery phases
-   Establish and maintain TDC baselines, reforecasts, and cash-flow projections, incorporating construction progress and procurement strategies
-   Implement driver-based budgeting models linking scope, program, procurement, and construction productivity drivers to outcomes
-   Own budget phasing aligned with construction programs to support funding plans, cash calls, and liquidity management
-   Align budgets and forecasts with funding strategies (equity, debt, drawdowns, covenants)

**2\. Project Accounting & Financial Control**

-   Process and control project accounting transactions in SAP (in coordination with Finance) & PRISM, including budget uploads, budget transfers, commitment creation, accrual postings, and cost allocations
-   Maintain commitment and actuals tracking at project, package, and contract level, ensuring timely and accurate capture of construction costs
-   Monitor forecast-to-complete (FTC) and update projections based on certified quantities, executed variations and procurement commitments
-   Track and record TDC movements, including approved budget changes, reallocations and cumulative impact of variation orders and claims
-   Record and monitor contingency, inflation and risk drawdowns, ensuring approvals are obtained and reflected correctly in systems
-   Perform monthly reconciliations between budgets, commitments, actuals, and cash flow, investigating and resolving variances
-   Maintain complete audit trails for all budget changes, approvals and re-baselining actions in line with governance requirements
-   Support internal and external audits by providing transaction-level support, reconciliations and documentation
-   Ensure compliance with financial policies, approval matrices and delegations of authority related to construction and development spend

**3 . Planning & Decision Support**

-   Support asset feasibility and development-stage business planning, ensuring assumptions on construction cost, revenue, program and lifecycle are realistic and aligned with financial strategy
-   Lead option analysis (phasing, packaging, procurement strategy, acceleration/deceleration), quantifying financial trade-offs across development and construction stages
-   Develop scenario and stress-testing models to assess impacts of inflation, delays, constructability risks, funding constraints and scope changes
-   Support stage-gate financial readiness reviews, ensuring affordability, funding, constructability and risk impacts are clearly articulated
-   Partner with Development, Construction, and PMO teams to translate master programs into financially phased plans

**4\. Reporting & Insights**

-   Deliver consolidated BU-level financial and non-financial reporting across development and construction, including:

-   TDC baseline vs forecast vs actual
-   Construction cost and progress variance analysis
-   Funding availed vs required
-   Cash-flow projections
-   Commitments, risks, and opportunities

-   Design and deliver management, ExCo, and Board dashboards with clear construction and development narratives
-   Embed early-warning indicators (cost overruns, program slippage, cash pressure)
-   Ensure reporting supports delivery and investment decisions, not just compliance

**5\. Risk & Governance (Coordination Model)**

-   Coordinate closely with the central Risk team, ensuring:

-   Consistent risk taxonomy and scoring
-   Alignment with ERM frameworks
-   Clear ownership between DFA, Risk, Development, PMO, and Construction

-   Integrate construction and development risk impacts into budgets, forecasts, and dashboards
-   Participate in joint risk reviews and stage-gate forums
-   Support governance committees with quantified financial impacts of construction and delivery risks

_Note: Risk ownership remains with the Risk function; DFA provides financial quantification and integration._

**6\. Systems, Data & Transformation**

-   Act as DFA lead for SAP and PRISM across construction budgeting, project accounting, and reporting
-   Drive automation of budget vs forecast vs actual reporting, eliminating spreadsheet-heavy construction cost tracking
-   Ensure seamless integration between:

-   SAP (actuals, commitments, accruals)
-   Construction cost systems (e.g. Unifier or equivalent)
-   PRISM dashboards

-   Define and maintain construction-ready data models, master data standards and reporting hierarchies (WBS, CBS, asset, BU)
-   Lead adoption of standard templates, workflows, and system-based controls
-   Partner with Finance, IT, CDU, DMO, and Construction teams on continuous improvement of DFA systems and analytics capability

**Key Systems & Tools**

-   SAP (FI / CO / PS or equivalent project accounting modules)
-   PRISM
-   Cost management systems (Primavera Unifier or similar preferred)
-   Power BI or similar BI tools
-   Advanced Excel
