Specialist Rdp and Loap Financial Modelling

Company Description

Anglo American has a portfolio of world-class mining operations. We mine, process, move and market the essential ingredients that enable a cleaner, more connected world and that meet fast growing consumer-driven demands for products from smartphones to electric cars. Our basic materials build homes, offices, railways and airports, and our diamonds fulfil people's dreams.

We are at the forefront of change in our industry; innovating with purpose - pushing boundaries to create new opportunities and demonstrate our values. As the custodians of precious natural resources - diamonds (through De Beers), copper, platinum and other precious metals, iron ore, coal and nickel - we rely on our high-performing teams to combine integrity, creativity and smart innovation with the utmost consideration for local communities, our customers and the world at large.

Group Technical & Sustainability (T&S) represents and drives the future of mining, as industry and world leading technical experts and innovators. T&S colleagues are based around the world, working in partnership with Business Units and other Group functions, to deliver the Burning Ambition and company Purpose, which is to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives.
- The T&S Commercial Finance & Integrated Performance team are tasked with optimizing the financial performance of T&S with the ambition of unlocking Anglo American’s full value potential. The team operate with credibility, consistency, and business-oriented approaches to:

- Elevate T&S commercial performance through the provision of timely and effective commercial financial insight and analysis, to the T&S disciplines as well as technical / operational team at the BUs / assets, enabling informed decision-making that maximizes value creation and realization.
- Provide an end-to-end view and management of T&S work integrated execution and value delivery into the business units/ assets, to ensure what was planned is delivered, within budget, value is well articulated and that T&S costs are appropriately recharged
- Provide centralized guidance to the different T&S discipline’s PMOs, standardizing a minimum set of activities and deliverables, to comply with what is required in terms of T&S execution and value delivery
- Ensure effective financial evaluations and modelling of Resource Development Plans (RDPs) and Life of Asset Plans (LoAPs) options to support the business to select the optimal (risk weighted) go forward plan.
- Be effective gate keepers of the T&S annual budget and expected gross value delivery, being responsible for its evaluation, approvals and reports

**Job Description**:
**Purpose**:
Deliver effective cost and financial analysis and modelling to support value-based decision-making for Resource Development Plans (RDPs) and Life of Asset Plans (LoAPs) in the region.

**Safety, Health & Environmen**t
- Demonstrate behavior in line with health, safety, and environmental standards and with the Group’s values.
- Participate in relevant safety audits, inspections, and observations, and address any issues.

**Performance & Delivery**

Develop well-structured financial models of sufficient rigor, granularity, and flexibility to enable effective and equitable financial evaluation of the RDP cases in the region. This includes:

- Interpreting and modelling key cost drivers, correctly capturing correlations between cost drivers.
- Understanding and effectively modelling capacity constraints in the process.
- Ensuring sufficient rigor and detail for material areas but at the same time avoiding unnecessary complexity.
- Creating flexibility for sensitivities to be run and the accurate calculation of the impact of changes to key cost drivers.
- Identifying and escalating risks that might affect successful delivery of RDP plans
- Supporting the review and simulation of various RDP options for planning as required.
- Implementing “Real Options Evaluation” and stochastic modelling as a complement of NPV criteria for complex projects.
- Identifying options for value maximization through intimate integration of the technical work and strategies with the financial analysis. This includes considering effective discipline integration and all synergies across the full value chain without compromising safety, health, and environmental impacts.

Once the RDP process has selected the single go forward case, build a more detailed, well-structured, activity-based effective financial model of the LoAP in collaboration with the LoAP team and the BU team managing the Asset. This includes:

- Ensuring the activity-based model is driven directly by the physicals generated and flexible enough to accommodate changes cost drivers and macroeconomic parameters.
- Providing detailed cost knowledge to enhance LoAP process inputs.
- Identifying and escalating all risks that might affect successful delivery of LoAP plans.
- Supporting the review and simulation of various LoAP trade-off and s
