Director of Financial Control & Regulatory Reporting

Shape the financial strength and regulatory future of Cynergy Bank.

Join us as our Director of Financial Control & Regulatory Reporting and play a critical leadership role in strengthening the financial, regulatory and prudential foundations of our award-winning human digital banking model.

What’s the opportunity?

This newly created role offers a rare opportunity to become Cynergy Bank's most senior technical accounting and financial control leader.

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer and sitting on the Finance Senior Leadership Team, you will help shape the future operating model, governance framework and financial control environment of a growing UK bank.

You will combine ownership of Group Financial Control, statutory reporting, audit and regulatory reporting with responsibility for capital, liquidity and prudential reporting frameworks.

You will act as the Bank's principal authority on accounting, financial reporting and regulatory interpretation, advising senior stakeholders, Board Committees, auditors and regulators on complex technical matters. The role offers significant visibility across the organisation and the opportunity to shape the future finance architecture, governance and control environment of the Bank.

This role could be particularly well suited to someone currently operating as a Director or Senior Director within a Big 4 Financial Services Audit or Accounting Advisory practice looking to move in-house into a senior leadership role. Equally, it may suit an established Financial Control or Regulatory Reporting leader seeking broader strategic responsibility within a growing UK bank.

Where You Will Work

You will enjoy hybrid working, with 3 days in our Central London office at One New Change and 2 days from home.
