- 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.
