We are seeking a highly capable Senior FP&A Lead to play a pivotal consolidating and integrating role within our Financial Planning & Analysis function.

Sitting alongside two Senior Finance Business Partners and reporting to the Head of FP&A, you will ensure the integrity, cadence and presentation of the Bank’s financial planning, performance reporting and cost management outputs for internal stakeholders, Executive and Board audiences.

This role brings together inputs from across the Bank into a single, coherent financial picture — short, medium and long term — and ensures it is delivered with the clarity, governance and consistency expected of a regulated financial institution.

You will be central to the delivery of the planning and performance cycle, the cost management framework, model governance, and the production discipline that turns numbers into insight.

As our Senior FP&A Lead, you’ll play a central role in bringing together the Bank’s financial story — short, medium and long term — and ensuring it’s delivered with clarity, accuracy and insight for senior stakeholders.

, you’ll enjoy a pension contribution of up to 15%, giving you real long‑term financial security.

You’ll also be part of our profit share scheme
, so when the Bank succeeds, you share in that success too.

We’re passionate about giving back, so you’ll have 5 paid volunteering days each year to support causes that matter to you.

Your wellbeing is protected through income protection and an impressive 7x annual salary life cover
, plus enhanced company sick pay and enhanced family leave to support you through life’s important moments.
