In an R&D Finance role, you will regularly collaborate with scientists, engineers, and project managers to understand project scopes, resource needs, and timelines. Your main responsibility is to translate technical project plans into detailed budgets and forecasts, ensuring financial accuracy and compliance. This often involves participating in project meetings, reviewing expenditure, and providing financial insights to support decision-making. Building strong relationships with R&D teams is key, as it enables proactive identification of financial risks or opportunities and helps align financial planning with strategic innovation goals.
