We’re looking for a Group Head of Cost Efficiency who will be responsible for understanding, reporting and analysis of costs, delivery of cost targets across the Group and specific management of supplier relationships and contract terms in line with Group efficiency objectives.

This person will sit on the Group Finance Leadership Team.

  • Working with Data and Transformation teams to deliver scalable infrastructure, business analytics and data visualisation capabilities for cost measurement, allocation, analysis, budgeting and forecasting
  • Rolling out Group-wide cost performance reporting and routines, dashboards and scenario-planning tools
  • Establishing key efficiency metrics for the Group and targets for the short / medium and long-term and build efficiency plans jointly with business owners to reach Group objectives against such metrics
  • Collaborating with FP&A to understand and explain cost performance and variances to plan as part of overall performance tracking

🤩We’d love to hear from you if you have…

  • Highly analytical and deep financial experience
  • Experience of establishing and running cost efficiency processes across large organisations
  • Experience of selecting and implementing new systems to deliver financial modelling, analytics, visualisation and operational workflows
  • Ability to influence and build deep relationships at a senior level
  • Ability to bring constructive challenge to senior stakeholders
  • Passion for team leadership and experience managing teams
  • A customer-centric and product-centric mindset
  • A values-driven leadership
  • Knowledge of retail banking products and pricing is a plus
  • Knowledge of cloud computing costs is a plus

🙌What’s in it for you

💰competitive salary ➕ share options.

📍This role is based in our London office. We're open to distributed working within the UK (with the expectation of occasional work from our London office, for key meetings).

⏰We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team. 

📚£1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.
