• Develop and maintain financial assumptions for project execution, e.g. related to cash flow estimates, CAPEX spend, milestones, ramp-up periods, and projections for steady-state operation
• Provide insightful follow-up of objectives and financials vs budget & forecast
• Contribute in longer-term financial planning, including assumptions on financing models and capital allocation aspects
• Assist the overall team in analysis, financial modelling and business case development
• Contribute to selected recurring finance & accounting process, e.g. connected to quarterly closings and stakeholder reports
