Group CFO

DNK-Randers, Danish Crown Vej

Sr. Lead, Planning (Financial Planning & Analytics) 

Turn planning into a decision-making engine. Danish Crown is transforming the way Finance supports the business. We are building a stronger Group FP&A function with global responsibility for planning, forecasting, performance management and financial steering.

Our ambition is to move beyond traditional budget and forecast mechanics. Planning must become a true decision-making engine that connects strategy, targets, resource allocation, business priorities and execu-tive performance dialogue. 

We are now looking for a new colleague who will drive the Planning & Forecasting including leading the development of our group-wide planning model and help drive our Planning 2.0 journey. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Danish Crown plans, allocates resources and steers long-term value creation.

Your role
You will own and develop the group-wide planning operating model across Danish Crown. You will lead the annual planning wheel, budget process, rolling forecasts, target setting and long-term financial planning model - ensuring that planning becomes more consistent, efficient and business-relevant. 

You will be central in linking the long-term financial strategy with annual targets, business unit plans and executive reporting. Your work will help the organisation better understand scenarios, risks, trade-offs and opportunities - and ensure that planning outputs translate into forward-looking insights and decisions. 

You will work closely with many stakeholders both in Denmark and international across the Danish Crown group across all levels of the business from IT developers to executives. 

Your key responsibilities

• Own the group-wide planning operating model and turn planning into a decision-making engine - not just a reporting cycle.
• Own the long-term financial planning model and ensure strong linkage to long term strategy, strategic targets and the annual wheel.
• Communicate long-term financial scenarios, risks and trade-offs, while challenging assumptions and validating business input.
• Translate planning outputs into forward-looking insights and connect them to the executive re-porting narrative together with the Reporting Lead.
• Own the Group planning calendar, including annual budget, rolling forecast and target setting.
• Develop governance, communication, templates and planning standards across Danish Crown.
• Provide group-level planning assumptions and ensure consistent methods across business units and functions.
• Improve planning processes by introducing best practice, simplification, standardisation and au-tomation.
• Own planning system requirements towards IT, ensuring fit-for-purpose templates, controls and workflows.
• Drive the Planning 2.0 roadmap, including scope, milestones, system/project resource needs and adoption approach. 

Who are you?

You are an experienced finance professional with strong planning, modelling and stakeholder manage-ment skills. You understand that great planning is not about collecting numbers it is about helping the business make better decisions.

You are structured and analytical, but also pragmatic and business-oriented. You can challenge assump-tions, connect financial logic to operational reality and communicate complex trade-offs in a clear way.

We imagine that you have:

• A master’s degree in finance, economics or a related field.
• 6–8+ years of experience from relevant finance roles such as FP&A, business finance, controlling, forecasting, planning, strategy finance or finance transformation.
• Strong analytical and financial modelling capabilities, including driver-based planning and sce-nario modelling.
• A commercial mindset and the ability to understand business drivers, value creation levers and op-erational trade-offs.
• Experience with planning systems, and BW/ERP system integration.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to collaborate across functions, business units and geographies.
• Excellent communication skills in English.

We are open for the position to be located out of our Headquarters in Randers or our Copenhagen Hub, though we require onsite presence in Randers approx. 1-2 days per week. 

Why join us?

Because you will help shape how Danish Crown plans for the future.

You will join a Group FP&A team with a clear mandate to strengthen performance transparency, capital discipline, cash generation and long-term value creation. 

You will influence how Danish Crown connects strategy, targets, budgets, forecasts and performance dialogue - and you will play a key role in one of the largest transformation journeys in Europe.

If you want to create impact beyond the spreadsheet - and help turn planning into a true leadership tool - we would like to hear from you.
