Manager Group Performance & FP&A

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a central role in how a large ASX-listed banking group understands and manages its Group cost base.  Sitting within Group Finance, you’ll deliver clear, driver-based insights on expense performance across forecasts, targets, and peer benchmarks—supporting Executive and Board decision-making.  Working closely with divisional, functional, and line-of-business finance teams, you’ll translate complex expense data into concise, actionable insights. You’ll explain cost movements, challenge assumptions, contribute to planning and target setting, and provide forward-looking scenario analysis to improve financial outcomes.
Key deliverables include:

• Deliver driver-based analysis of Group expense performance, including cost base, cost growth, and key expense categories against forecasts, targets, and peer benchmarks
• Provide clear variance analysis, commentary, and forward-looking insights for senior Finance stakeholders
• Support Executive and Board reporting through robust modelling, sensitivity analysis, and scenario planning
• Partner with divisional, functional, and business finance teams to enhance the quality of expense insights and decision-making
• Maintain strong controls across data, models, and reporting outputs, including reconciliations, review checks, and documentation
• Identify and implement opportunities to simplify, standardise, and automate reporting to improve speed, accuracy, and impact

This role will provide you with the following:

• High visibility role with exposure to senior stakeholders and Executive-level reporting
• Opportunity to deepen your FP&A and performance analytics capability
• Collaborative and supportive team environment within Group Finance
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements
• Strong development and career progression opportunities

Key requirements for this role include:

• CA / CPA qualification (desirable)
• Banking / Financial Services experience preferred, but open to demonstrated group-level experience in a large ASX-listed commercial organisation.
• A foundational understanding of planning, forecasting, and performance reporting cycles
• Strong Excel skills, with exposure to TM1 or similar enterprise planning / GL systems
• Developing capability in financial modelling, variance analysis, and scenario planning
• The ability to interpret financial data and communicate clear, actionable insights
• Strong attention to detail, with a strong control mindset and developing commercial judgement
