Multi-Currency Planning and Exposure Analytics Director

The mandate

The interim Director will establish a controlled distinction between underlying operating performance and currency translation, transaction and planning-rate effects. Current forecasts reconcile at a total level, yet rate assumptions and bridge logic vary enough to blur accountability. The assignment requires a start within one month and sustained engagement through the next full planning cycle.

Work begins with a currency-flow map covering reporting, settlement and economic drivers, followed by a rate hierarchy and standard bridges across actual, forecast and plan. The aim is not to predict exchange rates; it is to ensure that each decision view uses the right rate convention and states the exposure that remains.

Temporary decision rights include approving planning-rate sources, freezing versioned tables, rejecting inconsistent bridges and escalating unowned exposures. Hedge decisions, execution, accounting designation and market transactions are excluded. Treasury and accounting owners remain responsible for those domains.

Handover will be staged to a permanent FP&A owner and a named treasury counterpart. They must jointly run two monthly exposure reviews and one quarterly forecast bridge within tolerance. The final dossier will explain residual assumptions, rate sensitivities, controls and issues that require action outside FP&A.

What you will own

• Map material currency flows by functional, transaction, translation and economic exposure, identifying owner, horizon and planning treatment.
• Establish a governed rate hierarchy for actuals, forecast, plan, constant-currency analysis and scenario testing.
• Rebuild bridges that separate volume, price, mix, local cost, transaction currency, translation and rate-timing effects.
• Reconcile planning exposure to treasury information without importing execution assumptions as if they were operating performance.
• Introduce sensitivity tables showing earnings, cash and key ratio movement across defined rate shocks and timing windows.
• Create an exception process for non-standard currencies, missing rate sources and local overrides, with expiry and approval evidence.
• Train finance partners to explain underlying performance and rate effect without double counting or inappropriate constant-currency claims.
• Transfer rate-table control and exposure review to the permanent pair through observed, jointly signed cycles.

Candidate qualifications

• Fifteen or more years in international FP&A, treasury-facing planning or performance analytics, with Director-level interim experience.
• A case showing how you separated economic, transaction and translation effects and changed an executive interpretation.
• Strong command of planning-rate governance, constant-currency bridges, cash sensitivity, settlement timing and integrated statement effects.
• Evidence of reconciling FP&A exposure views with treasury data while respecting hedge, accounting and execution boundaries.
• Experience managing rate tables, version control and local override discipline across multiple reporting currencies.
• Proven ability to explain currency effects to non-specialist executives without overstating predictive confidence.
• Availability for the eleven-month term, including scheduled Stockholm presence during quarterly cycles and successor rehearsals.

Working terms and boundaries

• The engagement lasts eleven months at five days a week; only an incomplete successor certification can justify the one-month extension.
• Interim authority covers planning rates, bridges and exposure analytics, not hedging, dealing, accounting designation or policy approval.
• Market-rate outlooks must be represented as scenarios or approved planning conventions, never as consultant certainty.
• Handover is dual-owned by FP&A and treasury counterparts and includes two monthly reviews plus one quarterly bridge led without intervention.
• Completion requires controlled rate tables, reconciled exposure views, trained owners and signed disposition of every material exception.
