Value Creation Business Partner (Spend Better)

The Business Partner, Value Creation is a key member of the Integration Management Office (IMO) Value Creation team, reporting to the Value Creation Lead.

The role serves as the primary value creation partner to assigned functions, regions, and integration workstreams, helping teams identify, quantify, track, and realize synergy commitments.

The Spend Better program is a critical pillar of the global Synergy program, focused on unlocking sustainable cost savings and productivity across the end-to-end value chain. Spend Better encompasses a broad range of value-creation opportunities, with an elevated emphasis on Directs (Direct Materials, Packaging, Recipe & Formulation, and Design-to-Value) alongside manufacturing productivity, network optimization, logistics efficiency, travel and overhead optimization, and other structural cost-reduction initiatives.

We are looking for a highly commercially oriented Finance Business Partner to partner the global Spend Better program and drive greater rigor, pace and intensity in delivering value.

This role will operate at the intersection of Finance, Procurement, R&D, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Marketing and other functional teams.

The successful candidate will work with senior stakeholders globally while partnering closely with Finance Business Partners across regions and functions.

The role requires someone who can identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, translate operational opportunities into financial value, and ensure that savings are both delivered and sustained.

What are we looking for?

• 10+ years of progressive Finance experience, ideally with significant experience in cost transformation, productivity, value creation or performance improvement.

• Demonstrated experience across the Directs ecosystem— encompassing direct materials procurement finance, raw & packaging materials, R&D/formulation optimization, Design-to-Value (DtV), and Bill of Materials (BOM) cost architecture.

• Substantial background in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Food & Beverage, or FMCG manufacturing environments where recipe, packaging, and factory conversion are central to cost structures.

• Demonstrated experience translating operational productivity opportunities into validated, sustainable financial savings, with a strong understanding of manufacturing cost drivers and the ability to distinguish structural savings from volume, mix, inflation, FX and other financial effects.

• Experience operating in large, complex, multinational organizations is strongly preferred.
