  • 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

💰competitive salary ➕ share options.

⏰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.
