About this opportunity

We’re the UKs leading bank with a mission to ‘Help Britain Prosper’ and are giving our technology a complete upgrade to modernise our systems, our data and the way that we use it.

At the heart of this is Finance and understanding the income we’ve generated, the costs we’ve incurred and the many attributes that guide the business decisions. A crucial role is bringing clarity and insight from our vast data sets to support those business decisions.

The Finance Data and Analytics Office (FDAO) is part of the Finance Platform. Our aim is to ‘Empower through Trusted Data’.  Within FDAO the Data Analytics and Visualisations team work with our end users across Finance to understand their data needs to support the business.  We take their questions and provide answers in the form of amazing analysis, inventive data manipulations and logic, or intuitive, visualised dashboards that help the users read their data story.

Our data users, and the data they need, are wide and diverse. We support Finance across all of the Bank business Divisions. Consequently, we could use data from any system, for any product, and for any customer.

Our work usually starts with data from one of the main data warehouses. This is then manipulated, prepared and provided to the users as insight via a visualisation tool – Tableau or Power BI.
 

Day to day you’ll;

• Engage with the FDAO Business Partners who face into the Divisional Finance teams.  You’ll help understand the business requirements, their scale, and provide outline solutions for them.
• Liaise with the FDAO Data Management team to ensure that we control our data access and provision safely and securely.
• Bring the data to life; creating intuitive stories, adding valuable insight, aiding the users with new perspectives into their data.
• Support our production processing, ensuring successful delivery of high quality and meaningful data for our customers.

You’ll have opportunities to develop yourself and build skills for the future. You’ll need to develop a particularly close collaboration with the second Data Analytics and Insights team based across Edinburgh and Leeds/Halifax.

And you’ll help make FDAO a fantastic place to work – supporting our agenda on inclusion, growth and having fun.  There’ll be lots of opportunities for you to get involved, be seen and to make a real difference.
