• On the Planning side, the individual would support the TLM Planning processes, participating in activities such as providing QC on tax pools, reconciling plan models to FQRs, liaising with finance on the accruals process, and ensuring accounting actuals are accurately reflected within Palantir. During hectic Plan & Reforecast periods, the individual would be expected to take responsibility for an asset and ensure it is properly modeled, checking back with the Operator if necessary. The individual will also participate in periodic variance analysis, capital assurance, and BPM reporting activities.
