Details of the Division and Team:

Deutsche Bank's CFO Division is central to managing the bank's financial health, strategic planning, and regulatory compliance. Within this critical division, our teams collaborate to drive efficiency, leverage data for strategic decision-making, and execute transformative projects.

You will be joining a dynamic environment where:

• Group Strategic Analytics (GSA): Acts as the bank's central hub for advanced analytics, providing critical insights and quantitative capabilities across all business divisions. GSA's work informs top-level strategic decision-making and risk management for the entire institution. Key GSA Goals:
  • Provide enterprise-wide strategic analytical insights.
  • Develop advanced quantitative models for risk and business.
  • Drive data-driven decision-making across the bank.

Finance Change: Is the engine for transformation within Finance.

Interplay and Your Role:

Insights from Finance Strategic Analytics often identify areas for improvement or new strategic opportunities, which then become the mandate for APAC/MEA regional Finance Change projects. Simultaneously, Finance Change builds and enhances the core systems and processes that enable both FSA and GSA to perform their advanced analytics.

This collaborative ecosystem ensures that our Finance division remains agile, efficient, compliant, and positioned to proactively support Deutsche Bank's global strategic objectives through data‑driven decisions and robust operational capabilities.

A healthy, engaged and well‑supported workforce is better equipped to do their best work and, more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. That’s why we are committed to providing an environment with your development and wellbeing at its center.

You can expect:

• Flexible benefits plan including virtual doctor consultation services
