As members of the senior management team, they will also have line management responsibility for a group of more junior resources within their resource pool (as related to their job family).
This team was formed almost four monmths ago for two main reasons; a cost saving mechanism and a knowledge retention tool. At the time, the bank were allocating huge spend to securing the services of consulting firms such as EY, Accenture, KPMG and PWC but felt a more efficient mechanism could be structured by forming an ‘internal consultancy’.
The role itself is will be working as part of a group responsible for business case definition, design and execution of global scale strategic change initiatives across the bank that also encompasses risk, compliance and regulatory programmes.
All applicants will need to have spent some time with a consultancy delivering in to either Cooperate Banking or Wealth Management, before moving on to work directly within industry. A background of delivering successful programmes for large tier one banks is also essential, but whether that was via a consultancy or directly for the bank is irrelevant.
We recommend that all applicants can demonstrate where they have previously delivering change within complex, global environments, where functions and businesses are often subjected to sudden changes. Ideally, you would have driven through transformation programmes with high volumes of workstreams and deliverables ensuring that results are met on time and within budget.
Finally, all candidates joining this successful group must be able to build successful relationships across the bank at a senior level as well as having the necessary impact to influence stakeholders at board level.
