ALM - Financial Reporting Manager (Committee Reporting)

MERJE is partnered with a leading Building Society in their search for professionals to join their Asset & Liabilities Teams on a 12-month FTC basis.

About the role

This is a fixed-term opportunity to join the Asset & Liability Management team within the Balance Sheet Control directorate as a specialist ALM manager, focusing on the Hedge Management project within the Governance, Risk, and Control programme. The successful candidate will transform reporting for senior leadership committees, including the Society’s ALCO.

You will be responsible for delivering key aspects of the hedge management project, collaborating with colleagues across the ALM team, wider Finance function, and trading. Your tasks will include reviewing existing reporting methods, developing a plan, and implementing transformation of committee reporting to support senior decision-making, considering both internal and external factors. This role does not include line management responsibilities but requires significant stakeholder engagement.

As a reporting specialist with knowledge of financial risk management and experience communicating with senior audiences, you will join an established team with diverse experience in Asset and Liability Management. This role is ideal for someone with a strong risk reporting background eager to deepen their expertise in financial risk management.

You will enhance your skills to support this specialized area within the Balance Sheet Control directorate. A solid understanding of the balance sheet, corporate structure, and data/reporting landscape is essential. Additionally, you will promote a positive risk management culture.

About You

You should have in-depth knowledge of risk management within retail financial services, management information tools, and effective communication skills with senior stakeholders. Key requirements include:

• Working knowledge of market, liquidity, and capital risk metrics, risk appetite, and a broad understanding of margin reporting and balance sheet management.
• Experience transforming management reporting with control frameworks and automation.
• Familiarity with the company's products, financial market products, and finance and balance sheet management.
• The ability to set an ambitious vision and proactively engage stakeholders.
• Experience delivering change within tight deadlines using technological solutions.
• Excellent attention to detail, a proactive attitude, and a mindset of continuous improvement.
• Effective communication, engagement, and influencing skills, capable of articulating business requirements to both specialists and non-specialists.

While this is a specialist role, we welcome candidates with transferable skills such as high numeracy, pragmatism, and the ability to simplify complex topics for senior leadership.

Applicants must be based in the UK and eligible to work without sponsorship.
