We deal in the personal – from pet insurance for your best friend, and home insurance for peace of mind, to motor insurance for your dream car or travel money for that trip you’ve worked hard for. And that means we always work with heart. Whether we’re helping our customers or looking after our people, you’ll find there’s a warmth and friendliness to everything we do.

We’re looking for a Decision Support Analyst to join our Insurance and Money Services team.

In this role, your primary focus will be to help support the Centres of Expertise (CoEs) cost base within the Insurance and Money Services business.

This role will sit within the Cost Decision Support team, which forms part of the Commercial Finance team within the Finance function. You’ll have close connections to your financial control colleagues, as well as the broader Commercial Finance teams looking after Money Services and Insurance products, but your day-to-day will focus on managing the cost base within the CoEs.

What you’ll be doing

1. Month End Reporting
2. Input into build and development of budgets/forecasts
3. Providing insight, analysis & financial modelling to support decision making
4. Converting insight and MI into clear financial outputs and presentations
5. Making process improvements
6. Supporting your manager in other ad-hoc activities that may arise
7. Proactively managing workload to support cost reporting processes
8. Collaborating with multiple business areas across finance and wider business
9. Supporting Decision Support Managers to deliver cost targets & reporting

We need you to have

• Understanding of Management Accounting and Finance Department processes (either a finance degree, work experience in a finance function, OR CIMA/ACCA/ICAS part-qualified)
• Strong Excel skills, and proficiency with PowerPoint
• An inquisitive mindset, able to find and develop insight from the numbers that can be used to influence decisions
• Ability to use own initiative
• Effective communication skills to help build relationships
• Able to work independently, and as part of a wider team, and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders
• Adaptability and flexibility to meet concurrent deadlines

And if you have any of these, even better

• Experience in Financial Services or Retail
• Experience in a Decision Support or Business Partnering function
• Demonstrable experience of quickly forming networks and hitting the ground running

We don’t expect you to tick every box, and if you feel you meet most of the brief, it’s worth exploring to further develop your career here with us.

What’s in it for you

• Performance-related annual bonus
• Generous holiday allowance with a minimum of 25 days, with the opportunity to buy more
• Benefits of our Colleague Clubcard, with discounts worth up to £2,000, and a second card to share
• Family-oriented initiatives, including enhanced maternity leave pay, shared parental leave, and 8-week paid paternity leave
• Ongoing learning opportunities and award-winning training
• Participation in Buy as you Earn and Save as you Earn share schemes

Everyone’s welcome

We want all our colleagues to feel welcome and be themselves. We’re committed to building a more inclusive workplace and celebrating diversity, which enriches our business and helps us serve our customers, communities, and planet better every day.
