Without this role, there is financial and control risk of forecasting and accruing accurately on a monthly basis.
This role plays a leading role in 2027 planning and system support (Pigment), which requires specific skill set. Without this role, there is risk of not having an accurate 2027 Operating Plan, proper accrual / trade reporting, and CD financial support.
We are currently already holding open one 1C (Hamza’s box) which is creating an increase in workload across the broader CD Ops team.

• MBR (Monthly Business Review) : CD in-month forecasting and trade management across all BU’s
• Zero Day Close : Month end close trade entries and accrual management
• System support (Pigment) is extremely limited while more core functionality is integrated into the platform creating potential for knowledge and support gaps
