Global Retail Banking Finance is looking for a Senior Finance Business Advice colleague. The Global Retail Finance team consists of 16 Finance professionals, all with their expertise and generally with 5+ years of experience at various levels of the organization. The team is primarily a Management Accounting & Advice department and is characterized as a horizontal and flexible organization to adapt to the changing environment and priorities.

Purpose of the job

In this role, you will enable actionable, data-driven insights across three Retail Banking Pillars (Private Individuals, Business Banking, and Private Banking & Wealth Management), reporting to the Head of Retail Advice CoE. Your work will directly influence strategic decisions, shaping business outcomes and driving growth.

As the enabler of critical commercial KPIs, you will ensure that Global and Country business leaders are equipped with valuable insights that highlight our progress towards key strategic goals, as presented during the recent Capital Markets Day. You will have the opportunity to dive deep into data, identify trends, and help business teams turn insights into action.

With a small but impactful central Finance team, this role requires excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills. Given the senior stakeholders of the department (up to the Board level), values such as taking ownership of responsibilities and quality control are clearly embedded within the culture of the department.

Key result areas

• Drive the success of our strategic goals by shaping and developing commercial KPIs for 3 Retail Segments and ensuring that qualitative insights are embedded in all relevant deliverables to senior management.
• Actively guiding business stakeholders by equipping them with tools, insights, and frameworks that enable them to better understand, assess, and achieve their goals.
• Setting up peer group analysis per country.
• Work closely with diverse teams to broaden our data insights available for the 3 segments within Retail Banking, ensuring data informs business decisions.
• Supporting with the continuous enhancement of the executive Quarterly Performance Report which should remain relevant and continue to be the preferred document to track how a country is delivering on all key metrics as defined by the respective business owners.
• Involved in the development of product dashboards and KPIs that empower product teams with key insights and performance metrics.
• Continuously review reporting processes to reduce manual intervention, ensuring a single source of truth to all stakeholders.
