  • Carry out the monthly review of performance
  • Develop insights and reporting to help our teams better manage and understand their spend
  • Encourage continuous improvement within our Property Finance team, making sure we're always providing relevant and valuable commercial insights and business analysis
This role would suit people who have

  • Experience working accurately at pace and balancing changing priorities
  • Strong analytical, organisational, and problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information in a clear and engaging way
  • Good relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence and challenge people inclusively
Why Co-op?

  • Private healthcare
  • An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
  • 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
  • A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
  • Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
  • Coaching and training to support your career development
  • Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
  • YuLife - an app that rewards you for exercising with discounts and vouchers for your favourite brands
