About the team:
We are looking for a **Head of Finance Modernisation **to provide financial guidance and support to OSB Group’s strategic Simplification and Modernisation programme - to simplify and modernise the way we work. This programme will help us to work more effectively and efficiently; enhancing the journey and experience for our customers and brokers. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in our modernisation campaign, playing a lead role in enabling us to achieve our vision of becoming the UKs leading specialist bank.

About Us:
OSB Group is a leading specialist mortgage lender, primarily focused on carefully selected segments of the mortgage market. Our specialist lending is supported by our Kent Reliance and Charter Savings Bank retail savings franchises. Diversification of funding is provided by sophisticated securitisation platforms. OSB’s unique cost-efficient operating model is supported by our wholly-owned subsidiary OSBIndia.

What you will be doing:
In this role you will have the opportunity to partner with the Chief Transformation Officer in the development and implementation of the bank’s transformation strategy; working closely with Finance and Business management to provide financial guidance and support to the Modernisation programme in addition to playing a key role representing Finance interests in the delivery throughout the multi-year programme.

This role will be the connection point between Finance and the modernisation programme, overseeing the cost and benefit reporting as they develop and ensure accuracy in all reporting of financials relating to the programme. In parallel they will develop a deep understanding of the projects through engagement with all the work-stream leads and will link up with Finance management and colleagues to anticipate requirements and resource the demand required for future project support. This is a brand new role so you will have the scope to start fresh and bring your own ideas to the team. You will get to present to senior stakeholders and have visibility across the entire organisation.

Your responsibilities will include
- Provide financial analysis, guidance and insight to the programme to support decision making for the Chief Transformation Office and senior management. Take ownership of the quality of reporting that will leverage the broader Finance BAU teams. Act as a point of challenge and ensure comfort with the programme financial narrative
- Partner closely with the Chief Transformation Officer; constantly consider how Modernisation will impact all Finance processes, systems and ways of working. Ensure these are considered by the programme and engage with the relevant Finance expert to involve them as needed to ensure high quality requirements are raised and new ways of working are thoroughly considered, tested and implemented. Pre-empt future demand on Finance and work with the Programme and Finance management to resource and support sufficiently.
- Work with Finance colleagues to understand the financial plans and how modernisation will impact these over time. Influence the development of future plans to incorporate benefits of the programme and the future cost trajectory. Provide latest forecast and budget information for the Programme and monitor progress against these
- Support the development of business cases for the programme, including evaluating costs and benefits, assessing risks and identifying potential savings or revenue opportunities. Monitor progress against these business cases
- Collaborate with Finance and other teams to provide meaningful financial and operational metrics and reports to senior management
- Ensure the programme accounting complies with IFRS accounting standards through working with the Head of Accounting Policy and the Cost team
- Own the communication around Modernisation in Finance at all levels. This will range from ensuring the CFO and Deputy CFO are appraised of the status and any escalations before steering and board committees through to providing regular updates to all colleagues to sell the future and their part in the future along with improving the understanding of the entire function of the programme and its benefits
