About This Opportunity

The Corporate and Institutional Bank (CIB) serves the financial needs of large clients (generally more than £100m turnover) who have a strong link to the UK from our bases in the UK and the USA that support our ability to Help Britain Prosper. Our purpose-led, disciplined growth strategy builds on our expertise in transaction banking, debt financing and risk management.

The Financial Resource Management (FRM) team is part of Balance Sheet Management, which sits within CIB's Client Solutions Group.

This is an exciting fixed term contract opportunity to develop our approach on Relationship and Sector performance, helping CIB to work smarter and deliver growth, through insights and collaboration across the business.

What You'll Need

We're looking for a highly motivated leader with good knowledge of Commercial Banking, and who can bring vision, passion and innovation to create new and better ways for the organisation to be successful.

Success in this role means developing and delivering a data-led, efficient framework to provide insightful MI and analysis, drive purpose-led collaboration and challenge across our front line teams, and provide a consistent view of financial and non-financial performance.

Specifically, we're looking for:

• Experience of delivering results either in a client facing role or performance management, in a Commercial Banking environment

• Practical knowledge of the products we offer and the range of clients we service in CIB

• The ability to interpret and apply an understanding of key financial indicators to make better business decisions

• A creative thinker who can identify new approaches and successfully deliver across numerous priorities

• Genuine curiosity and a desire to take ownership, adapting to an evolving competitive environment and internal developments

• A clear communicator who is able to engage and influence stakeholders across the Group up to Executive level

And Any Experience of These Would Be Really Useful

• An understanding of client and pipeline management tools, e.g. Microsoft Dynamics 365

• Experience of using technology to automate and simplify processes and provide data insights
