Job description

Swindon – Hybrid

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 Wellbeing category of the 2024 Business Car Awards.

About The Role

As a Commercial Analyst, you will support the Commercial Finance Manager by providing analysis that informs business decisions across fleet, product, sales targets, and commissions. You will contribute to a variety of projects, from reporting and tender support to implementing new tools such as Power BI and Tableau. This role offers variety and the chance to develop your skills in a supportive environment.

Some Of Your Key Responsibilities Will Include

• Supporting the Commercial Finance Manager and Sales teams with fleet forecasting and reporting on key activity metrics
• Producing data for commission payments and providing accurate, timely reports to stakeholders
• Analysing product performance and supporting tender evaluations
• Collaborating with Product, Procurement, and Sales teams to support business growth

What We’re Looking For

You are naturally inquisitive, commercially aware, and enjoy solving problems. You present data clearly for a range of audiences and are comfortable challenging processes to improve outcomes. You are detail-focused, proactive, and able to manage large volumes of data. If you are looking to develop your career in a collaborative team, we would love to hear from you.

You’ll Also Be Able To Demonstrate

• Strong Excel skills and experience of building financial models
• The ability to present complex information to both finance and non-finance colleagues
• A curious mindset and a commitment to understanding the reasons behind the numbers
• Either be part-qualified (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) or keen to start your accounting qualifications. A degree in a related subject (finance, economics, business, maths) would also be advantageous.

The package

We offer a basic starting salary of up to £45,000, plus a bonus of up to £1,900. We also offer 25 days holiday as standard, plus bank holidays, an extra day off for your birthday, and the option to purchase an additional 5 days.
