We are hiring a Business Manager to work directly with the Chief Finance Officer, a member of the Executive Committee.
More than a traditional business support role, this position acts as a strategic advisor and internal consultant to the CFO. You will tackle complex business challenges, drive transformation initiatives, support executive decision-making, and work across the organization to deliver strategic outcomes.
This is a unique opportunity for a former consultant or strategy professional seeking direct exposure to executive leadership and the ability to influence the direction of a leading financial institution.
Your next challenge:
1. Strategy Advisory & Information Management
- Act as a trusted sparring partner to the CFO on strategic, organizational and business topics.
- Structure complex topics, challenge assumptions, and prepare forward-looking positions.
- Monitor internal and external developments (e.g. market trends, industry shifts, regulatory changes, finance trends) and flag relevant risks or opportunities.
- Research and prepare materials, briefings, and presentations on diverse topics - either proactively or at the Executive’s request.
2. Operational Support & Execution
- Prepare high-quality content (slides, briefings, memos) and coordinate inputs from across the business line.
- Ensure the Executive is fully briefed for meetings and urgent topics.
- Coordinate and participate in meetings, taskforces, and workgroups - internally and externally - ensuring follow-up on action items.
- Synthesize workshop documentation and ensure the Executive is always well-prepared.
3. Stakeholder Management & Communication
- Act as a trusted liaison between the Executive and internal/external stakeholders.
- Build a strong network within the Executive’s departments and across the bank.
- Facilitate alignment, cascade key messages, and ensure two-way communication across N-1/N-2 levels.
- Identify conflicts, flag issues for intervention, and engage in brainstorming sessions with the Executive.
4. Project Leadership
- Independently lead and drive complex, high-stakes projects aligned with the Executive’s strategic priorities.
- Take ownership of key issues before escalation and proactively propose solutions.
- Demonstrate initiative, problem-solving, and leadership readiness.
- Deepen your business acumen and gain a comprehensive understanding of the business line’s functioning.
- Act as an internal consultant on key business priorities, including organisational transformation, operating model improvements and strategic initiatives.
