Establish the financial backbone for Value Creation within Digital Technologies Mars Snacking, ensuring that value is clearly defined, financially grounded, consistently measured, and embedded into portfolio and integration decision-making.

This role will partner closely with Running Cost Finance, Portfolio, IMO Tech and Value Creation Office leadership to connect financial baselines, investment choices, synergy commitments, and business outcomes into one integrated value framework.

Unlike a traditional Finance BP role focused primarily on budget control, actuals, forecast accuracy, and run-rate discipline, this role will focus on translating financial data into value insight, decision quality, and executive confidence.

This role exists to support the focus shift from delivery execution to Value Realization, enabling informed prioritization, investment decisions, and outcomes that support Mars Snacking DT Strategy and the Five Principles.

• Value commitments are clearly defined, financially grounded, and comparable across initiatives.
• Leadership has transparent visibility of expected value, realized value, timing, confidence level, and financial risk.
• Value cases are robust enough to support prioritization, trade-off, and investment decisions.
• Financial planning, portfolio roadmap, integration milestones, and synergy commitments are connected into one coherent view.
• Finance is embedded early in the value lifecycle, shaping value quality instead of only validating numbers after submission.
• Value performance is translated into executive insights, showing where value is being created, delayed, duplicated, or at risk.
• The VCO has a clear Finance operating model with defined roles, decision rights, governance points, and escalation paths.
• Digital Technologies moves from cost and activity tracking to financially disciplined value realization.

• Connect financial planning, portfolio roadmap, integration milestones, synergy commitments, and value cases into one coherent view to support prioritization, affordability, phasing, and trade-off decisions.

• Identify financial risks, gaps, duplicated value claims, overlaps, and potential value leakage across initiatives, ensuring value commitments are financially sound, comparable, and aligned with enterprise expectations.

• Define and track key value indicators, including planned value, committed value, realized value, cost-to-value ratio, investment efficiency, timing, confidence level, and risk exposure.
