An opportunity to make a difference
At Border to Coast our purpose is to make a difference and we’re looking for a Financial Planning and Analysis Manager to join our award-winning team.
As a customer-owned and customer-focused organisation, integrity is one of our values, as is our collaborative and sustainable approach. Our focus is to secure the pensions of over a million people who have provided valuable service to their communities and society. We’re the largest UK asset manager outside London or Edinburgh, and we provide innovative investments that deliver sustainable returns over the long term.
As a Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, you will play a key role in supporting strategic decision-making, financial performance, and business transformation initiatives.
Working closely with the Senior FP&A Manager you'll help deliver our budgeting process, maintain and enhance revenue models, and contribute to the development of Board-level balanced scorecard reporting. You'll also partner with our Change function to ensure programmes deliver measurable benefits, improved operational efficiency, and tangible commercial value across our B2C operations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
