- Support strategy formulation for Property & Partnerships, quickly drawing conclusions and appropriate actions from insight
- Drive innovation, supporting evolution and improvement of finance processes and systems, using technology to improve insight and performance
- Influence key decisions, acting as a strategic business partner and sounding board to the Property & Partnerships leadership team
- Provide advice on key business planning assumptions, headwinds and opportunities, working with leaders to find solutions and accelerate benefit realisation
**This role would suit people with**
- Significant experience in a senior group property or multi-site finance role, managing a team and setting a strategic vision
- Excellent commercial awareness, with the ability to identify and unlock value within a big, diverse estate
- Excellent influencing skills, with the ability to challenge comfortably and effectively at executive level
**Why Co-op?**
If you can help us unlock the value in our non-trading property estate, we can offer you a highly competitive salary and exceptional benefits package which includes 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores (as well as other discounts on Co-op products and services).
- An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
- A company car or £8,000 annual car allowance
- A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
- Private healthcare for you and your family
- 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
- Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
- Coaching and training to support your career development
At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities.
**Building a diverse environment**
