Trade Investment Analyst, CP&A

Job Description

Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?

Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It With Pride.

Trade investment is one of the largest cost lines in CPG. This position exists to bring control, transparency, and accountability to how that money is planned, spent, and verified across all channels and retail partners.

You will own the full cycle from annual budget planning to monthly actuals tracking to hands-on Proof of Performance verification. You will be the person who ensures that promotional and contractual commitments made by the sales team are properly executed, documented, and reconciled against what was invoiced.

How you will contribute

You will:

Trade Investment Management

• Plan and forecast trade investments by channel, client, and cost line (monthly and annual cycles)
• Track and reconcile actuals vs. plan for promotional spend and contractual obligations — NKA, LKA, TT, and other channels
• Maintain the trade investment register: full breakdown of commercial expenses by channel, client, category.
• Calculate and monitor TI% monthly; flag deviations and quantify the difference
• Maintain Trade investment scorecards for key accounts (NKA/LKA): AC, actuals, and rolling forecasts
• Lead delivery of the trade investment dashboard; recommend corrective actions when targets are at risk

Proof of Performance (PoP)

• Collect, verify, and reconcile promotional actuals from all clients (off-invoice and on-invoice)
• Cross-check submitted invoices against promo calendars, off-take calculations, and shelf execution photos
• Identify discrepancies between what was planned, what was executed, and what was billed — and clarify them
• Audit PoP drives daily; track document completeness; escalate missing evidence

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with KAMs and sales teams to collect accurate data and align on variance drivers
• Partner with Finance (internal and distributor) on cost allocation, invoice verification, and monthly close
• Serve as the internal expert on trade investment processes — create clear, actionable reporting for all stakeholders

More about this role

What extra ingredients you will bring:

• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable working with large datasets, building bottom-up calculations, and spotting discrepancies
• Finance or accounting background with commercial understanding (FMCG experience is a strong advantage)
• High attention to detail and disciplined approach to recurring processes — monthly closes, weekly audits, document control
• Confidence to push back on sales teams or clients when numbers don't add up or documentation is missing
• Ability to manage multiple data sources and stakeholders simultaneously without losing accuracy

Education / Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field

Job specific requirements:

• The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical acumen, a future-focused mindset, and proven experience in trade investment control within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.
• Prior experience with "Big 4" companies in consulting, audit, or related fields is highly welcomed.
• This role demands the ability to influence stakeholders and translate data into actionable, measurable plans to achieve growth targets.
