Corporate Planning Manager

JOB SUMMARY

The Corporate Planning Manager serves as a central integration point for the organization's governance, performance, and stakeholder reporting functions. This role owns and manages the full budget and KPI governance cycle — partnering closely with FP&A and leading the year-round OKR/KPI dashboard — while ensuring monthly strategic milestones are communicated clearly to the CEO and ManCom.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Budget & Performance Management

1. Acts as gatekeeper of corporate budgets and KPIs; partners actively with FP&A during the annual budgeting cycle to ensure alignment with strategic priorities.
2. Maintains and continuously improves the year-round OKR/KPI dashboard — not limited to budget season — providing real-time visibility into performance against targets.
3. Prepares and delivers monthly strategic milestone updates to the CEO and Management Committee, synthesizing progress, risks, and recommended actions.
4. Proactively flags performance deviations and collaborates with relevant business units to develop corrective action plans.

Stakeholder Management

1. Serves as the single intake and coordination point for all Aboitiz Group submissions; owns and maintains the 12-month Parent Reporting Calendar.
2. Ensures all corporate reports submitted to the Parent Company are timely, accurate, and fully aligned with the parent's business narrative and strategic direction.
3. Performs an editorial review of all business unit inputs prior to Parent submission — enforcing narrative consistency, quality standards, and strategic alignment rather than acting as a mere coordinator.
4. Develops and enforces templates and guidelines for business unit reporting to streamline the submission process and reduce revision cycles.

ManCom & Board Meetings Management

1. Owns the full governance calendar, including ManCom and board meeting scheduling, paper templates, pre-read distribution timelines, and agenda sequencing.
2. Ensures governance meetings are structured and sequenced to facilitate effective alignment on business priorities and clear communication of strategic direction.
3. Tracks all action items from ManCom and Board meetings; monitors completion and escalates overdue items to the Head of Strategy & Investments.
4. Coordinates with ManCom members and Board Secretariat to ensure materials are complete, reviewed, and distributed according to established pre-read timelines.
