- Analyse Lending and ESG profitability, pricing, margins, impairments, capital efficiency and returns, translating complex financial movements into clear insights and recommended management actions.
- Support the digital and simplification Agenda
Planning, forecasting and scenarios
- Coordinate and consolidate financial planning, forecasting and stress or scenario submissions, ensuring that inputs are complete, consistent and delivered within agreed deadlines.

- Build effective working relationships with Lending and product teams, Country and Regional CIB Finance, Global and Asia CIB Finance, offshore delivery teams and other relevant stakeholders.
- Lead and coordinate a small team of GFO onshore resources, prioritising activities to deliver focused, value-added and insightful finance support rather than ad‑hoc management information.

- Maintain robust controls, reconciliations, data-quality checks and audit trails for all submissions and management information, ensuring processes are transparent, accurate and auditable.
