At Aristocrat, we believe in creating the world's greatest gaming and entertainment experiences through innovation, and meticulous investment. Our success is driven by our focus on delivering value to players, customers, and shareholders. We are looking for a highly organized and analytically strong finance professional to join our Development & Design Finance group as a Senior Analyst, Enterprise D&D Planning. This role is pivotal in bringing greater structure, consistency, and coordination to our annual planning, rolling forecasts, and headcount planning activities.

For individuals eager to improve processes, promote alignment across teams, and ease complex planning cycles, this position offers extensive interaction with Finance, People & Culture, Group Finance, RCOE, and D&D leadership.

What You'll Do

As Senior Analyst, Enterprise D&D Planning, you will support the core planning and forecasting operating rhythm for D&D. You will assist in structuring timelines, templates, inputs, assumptions, and follow-ups so finance partners and business leaders can plan with greater accuracy, consistency, and accountability.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Support the planning and forecasting calendar across D&D, including annual plan, rolling forecast, monthly updates, and key submission achievements.
  • Assemble and synchronize inputs across Finance, Studios, Product, Technology, People & Culture, Group Finance, and RCOE to support alignment and timely delivery of planning assumptions.
  • Keep transparent trackers for forecast submissions, open items, risks, delayed inputs, approvals, and follow-up actions.
  • Help prepare planning outputs that are consistent, comparable, and ready for D&D Finance and leadership review.
  • Develop, sustain, and enhance headcount planning templates across D&D, incorporating role-level, location, cost center, hiring, attrition, and transfer inputs.
  • Help establish a more structured operating rhythm for planning across D&D, reducing last-minute churn and improving transparency.
  • Partner closely with People & Culture and Finance teams to align headcount assumptions, open roles, hiring timing, compensation inputs, and workforce changes.
  • Create repeatable processes and controls that improve data quality, reduce rework, and make headcount planning easier to manage across cycles.
  • Support clear variance explanations for headcount, compensation, and related cost movements across plan, forecast, and actuals.
  • Find opportunities to simplify, standardize, and improve planning and forecasting processes across D&D.
  • Maintain planning documentation, process maps, templates, and operating guides to support consistency and knowledge transfer.
  • Build trusted relationships by being responsive, organized, and clear on ownership and next steps.
  • Support alignment across collaborators by bringing structure, clarity, and follow-through to complex, multi-participant planning cycles.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

  • 7+ years of experience in FP&A, planning, forecasting, business operations, finance transformation, project management, or related analytical roles.
  • Working knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, headcount planning, and recurring finance operating rhythms.
  • Strong organizational skills, including the ability to manage timelines, dependencies, collaborators, and follow-ups across multiple workstreams.
  • Advanced skills in Excel and PowerPoint, paired with a focus on detail and the talent to generate clear, accurate, and logically arranged work products.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You:

  • Are very organized and enjoy simplifying complex planning processes to make them more predictable.
  • Can balance detailed data work with project management, collaborator coordination, and executive-ready communication.
  • Have strong communication skills and can make timelines, asks, risks, and decisions clear to different audiences.
  • Build credibility through accuracy, responsiveness, ownership, and strong follow-through.
  • Bring a continuous improvement outlook and look for ways to reduce rework, standardize inputs, and improve the planning experience for partners.
