Commercial Accountant Manager (Decision Support Manager) recruitment

Retail Finance is a key function within the Retail Division. The primary purpose of Retail Finance is to apply specialist skills, knowledge and expertise to support the vision "to change the face of banking". The work requires people with excellent commercial judgement, top class analytical skills and a passion to improve business performance. Our vision is to become Britain’s most helpful and sustainable bank. Our people are key in helping us achieve this, which is why we want to recruit the very best people with the right skills, experience and behaviours.

This managerial position will provide financial insight and decision support across a range of finance initiatives, including budgeting, forecasting, strategy reviews, investment appraisals, performance monitoring across both revenue and costs.

Actively supporting the Finance Business Partners, you will provide timely, reliable, and insightful financial support that will drive Senior and Executive financial and commercial discussions.  You will confidently manage the end to end delivery of a varied range of initiatives / projects, drawing actionable business insight from financials and proactively influencing Business Partners; developing and matching solutions to meet business needs.

You will be a post qualified accountant with experience in financial control or management accounts.  Time-served experience in a commercial ‘decision support’ role in a blue chip environment, not necessarily in the financial sector, or for a Big 4 firm with exposure to similar clients, will be highly regarded.  You will be at ease communicating with executive level stakeholders and have previous exposure to commercial business operations, demonstrating an awareness of current business issues with an ability to see relevance to own business areas / divisions.

With us, hard work adds up to more. Our rewards include a generous salary, the opportunity to participate in bonus schemes and receive discounted Group products. Plus we offer up to 30% benefit funding that gives you the option of choosing your own mix of cash and benefits.  We offer a range of career development opportunities across Retail and the wider RBS Group, both in the UK and world wide.  All of which creates a truly flexible package that fits your changing needs and lifestyle.  For more information visit http://www.jobs.rbs.com/uk/you-and-rbs
