Key Responsibilities

  • Analyse volume movements across products, isolate key drivers and quantify their contribution.
  • Identify anomalies, emerging risks, and data quality issues; recommend corrective actions and ensure timely escalation where thresholds are breached.
  • Establish and monitor the relationship between IBGO expenses and volume/complexity drivers; develop unit cost views and productivity baselines.
  • Partner Finance and functional owners to track run-rate, forecast outcomes, and explain variances (price, volume, mix, one-offs).
  • Own the development of ExCo/Group COO-level decks, strategic reviews, and business updates—ensuring messaging is crisp, fact-based, and decision-oriented.
  • Drive action tracking from executive forums—capturing decisions, translating them into clear follow-ups, and ensuring closure across stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 10 years of experience in business management, strategy, finance, transformation, and/or COO Office roles within a complex, matrixed organisation (banking/financial services preferred).
  • Demonstrated track record in performance management, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis, with the ability to link financial outcomes to operational drivers.
  • Proven experience supporting senior leadership and ExCo-level forums, including preparing decision papers and executive-ready decks.
  • Experience leading cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority; ability to influence outcomes through data, framing, and governance.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA/CPA/CFA or equivalent professional qualification is an advantage.
