Strategic Finance Manager
Swindon - Hybrid working - Full-time - Permanent
We're Arval BNP Paribas – we're a global leader in vehicle leasing and the fourth largest leasing company in the UK. Our passion for Service, Sustainability, and Solutions is brought to life by each and every one of our people – who we call Journey Makers.
Culturally, we're a friendly bunch – more human than corporate – and we serve a diverse customer base. From families choosing their first electric vehicle, to global brands seeking to switch their fleets to electric vehicles – whatever our customers' mobility needs, we have a solution to offer.
Why join Arval?
In addition to the benefits and opportunities that come with being part of a progressive global banking group, we have a supportive and collaborative culture where wellbeing and work-life balance are taken seriously. Which is why we recently won the title of Employer of the Year in the South West Business of the Year Awards.
About The Role
You'll work directly with our Executive Committee, Heads of Department and other senior stakeholders across Arval UK, helping shape major commercial decisions, leading strategic initiatives and building the experience needed to progress into more senior leadership roles in the future. Reporting to the Head of FP&A, you'll combine strategic finance, financial planning, team leadership and business transformation responsibilities, with visibility across the wider business.
