About this opportunity

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen to join the Retail Divisional Reporting team to lead Executive insight for the largest Retail Banking Business in the UK.

We pride ourselves on continuing to build an outstanding Reporting team. We're looking to recruit a new team member with drive, curiosity and the ability to deliver an outstanding service.

This role is within the team that produces the consolidated Retail Reporting and leads the Valuation in Resolution process, communicating key story points to Finance Directors. It offers a fantastic opportunity to build a deep understanding of Retail products, work closely with senior colleagues within Finance, and use your skills to really make a difference!

You'll need an appetite to work in a fast paced and changing environment and be comfortable working under pressure while maintaining excellent analytical, presentational, verbal and non-verbal communication skills. You'll also need to be able to build strong relationships, work well in a team and deliver through others.
 

Day to day you’ll be;

• Shaping and delivering high quality executive consolidated Reporting decks covering the Profit & Loss and Balance sheet, demonstrating advanced storytelling capability and ensuring accuracy and completeness, through each Reporting cycle.
• Co-ordinating and effectively leading the Valuation in Resolution for Retail Finance, facing into a broad range of customers across Group, Group Corporate Treasury, Finance Business Partners, and of course the Divisional Finance Director.
• Leading and delivering other / ad hoc Reporting activities for Finance Directors and Divisional Finance Director, ensuring governance and control throughout.
• Demonstrating commercial understanding, sound judgment and a questioning attitude with the ability to manage multiple customers, through the Reporting cycles.
• Providing a pragmatic approach to problem solving and a desire to deliver solutions, which are critical to lead these activities.
• Actively developing the reporting process, to improve efficiency, output and enhance collaboration across the multiple functions.
• Embedding the Group’s culture and vision through visible leadership, being a role model for the Group’s leadership behaviours.

What you’ll need

We're looking for a Finance professional with a proven record gained in a range of roles, ideally with experience of Financial Services. Plus, you'll need to have/be:

• Display strong leadership skills, comfortable taking ownership and leading through others, along with responsibility for their own work.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills, with a consistent track record in creating and sharing clear and tailored communications, at all levels of the organisation.
• Capability to influence - using compelling arguments to gain the support and dedication of others to drive forward actions.
• Experience of building and establishing positive relationships.
• Accounting qualification preferable (ACA, CIMA or equivalent)
