  Job Description Summary

  JOB TITLE: Business Manager
  SALARY: £57,546 - £75,780
  LOCATIONS: Bristol, London, Edinburgh, Halifax

  Job Description

  We’re on an exciting journey and there couldn’t be a better time to join us as a Business Manager. We’re throwing out the rulebook on what we have done in the past and are changing at pace – which is where you come in.

  The investments we’re making in our people, data, and technology are leading to innovative projects, fresh possibilities, and countless new ways for our people to work, learn, and thrive. We are committed to investing in the future, and over the next few years, we are embarking on an unbelievable transformative journey for our infrastructure, our customers, and your career.

  Why should you join?

  As we go through our multi-billion-pound transformation, you will be a leading figure within the process. You’ll be engaging with stakeholders of all levels, across the business. You’ll be exposed to the key work being undertaken and will be the person controlling the budgets for the platforms and collaborating with Product Owners and Engineering teams. With the experience and exposure across the business, there are some great opportunities to grow into more niche roles too, should you wish to.

  Some of the other key things you’ll be doing are:

  • Supporting BAL activity around identifying shortcomings, suggesting improvements, and implementing approved revisions to platform processes, systems and procedures.
  • Manage and support delivery of required outcomes in terms of governance reporting for the Platform initiatives.
  • Manage risk reporting and supporting platform leadership with risk management activities, including Audit, Risk & Control Self-Assessment and supporting the Divisional Resilience and Security Office.
  • Manage the BAU financial position for your aligned Platform, including managing, and reviewing technology cost, budgeting, reporting and stretch allocation, as well as supporting with the four-year operating plan, providing financial analysis and insight.
  • Collaborate with and manage relationships with internal customers as a business partner, supporting Platform Leads with headcount, people data activity, and strategic workforce planning implementation and tracking.
  • Work with the Business Management Lead and Platform stakeholders on change activities, including operating model and productivity initiatives, and collaborate with Product Owners on QBR write-ups in memo/tooling.

  What you’ll need

  We’re not looking for people that know all the answers. We’re looking for people that thrive on being given a problem and finding a solution. We’re looking for people who are comfortable when they need to say no; who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo and push back on stakeholders who may be more senior.

  There are some things we are looking for in you though:

  • It’s essential that you are comfortable influencing, challenging and articulating to stakeholders of all levels – many of which will have differing priorities.
  • A background in program/project management and financial/risk management would be beneficial, especially from a complex organisation.
  • You’ll need to be proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and automation tools like Power BI.
  • You’ll need excellent time management skills to handle multiple responsibilities and meet deadlines across a fast-moving and complex set of changing requirements.
  • Understanding of the financial services industry and agile experience in a complex organisation is beneficial.

  We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
  • An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
  • Share schemes including free shares
  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping, current accounts, mortgages and season ticket loans
  • 30 days holiday, with bank holidays on top
  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
