We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Head of GPB Business Reporting and Planning.
This role is a high-visibility at the centre of Global Private Banking (GPB), owning the end-to-end performance narrative from global P&L and balance sheet insights through forecasting, planning and the Financial Resource Plan (FRP) and for presenting key insights directly to the GPB CEO and ExCo. The role blends strategic partnership (working closely with Strategy to ensure forecasts reflect business priorities) with operational impact (leading global cost management with the GPB COO as a key stakeholder), while giving you a genuinely global remit across countries and legal entities. You will also influence external disclosures, act as the deputy to the Head of GPB Business Performance, and drive modernisation of management information and processes, leveraging technology, and strengthening the control environment.
A move across the business allows you to continue to access tailored professional development opportunities, and our fantastic benefits packages.
In this role you will:
- Lead end-to-end MI delivery for GPB, including preparation, interpretation and communication of global P&L, balance sheet, key business drivers and performance insights for the GPB CEO and ExCo
- Lead the GPB Financial Resource Plan (FRP) and forecasting cycle, setting a clear approach for Country/Regional/Global GPB Finance teams, aligned to IWPB processes, and providing high-quality analytics to senior management
- Act as Global Finance lead for GPB cost management, partnering closely with the Global GPB COO as a key stakeholder
- Partner with Strategy to track priorities, ensuring forecasts reflect strategic intent and GPB-specific content is appropriately included in external disclosures
- Strengthen management reporting policy, principles and controls, driving process improvements and efficiencies, enhancing “fit for purpose” reporting, and maintaining an effective control environment while managing operational risk
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.
