Group Consolidation: Working directly with the Group Statutory reporting team to ensure appropriate consolidation of the Group entities including correct accounting within the Group's international subsidiaries and branches in line with IFRS 10. Control Environment: Ensuring the control environment around Management Reporting remains robust, identifying any weaknesses as they become apparent through applying a risk-mindset to all of the team's activities. Drive Efficiencies: Proactively identify and implement improvements to the month-end and other financial control processes. This will be through new system implementations, current system improvements or general process efficiencies. Stakeholder Management: Take responsibility for representing the Management Reporting team internally within the wider organisation and externally with key stakeholders such as external auditors and third party advisors. Team Culture: Working with the Head of Management Reporting to embed a culture of continuous improvement within the team, helping to identify areas of efficiency in all areas of the team's reporting responsibilities and empowering the team to drive this change themselves. Requirements A qualified chartered accountant with at least 10 years PQE with part of this in a listed, multinational firm in a similar role. Expertise in the application of complex accounting standards, including IFRS 15 (SaaS revenue models preferred), IFRS2 Share Based Payments and IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Experience understanding, developing and applying complex international transfer pricing models would be preferred.

Description Hello, we're Starling. Banking was broken - so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values. All at the tap of a phone, all the time. We built Britain's first digital bank. One hard-won banking licence later, we set about giving people a new way to spend, save and manage their money (and take better care of the planet, too). We're changing banking for good. Back then, we were obsessed with unravelling the knotty world of finance and solving people's problems rather than selling them stuff. We still are. Since then, we've grown. A lot. Over four million accounts (and four account types!). A team of thousands. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester and Southampton. Five years voted Which? Recommended Provider and Britain's Best Banking Brand. Still zero branches. Our culture is open, inclusive and focused on solving real customer problems, with an emphasis on doing the right thing, even when it's not always the easy thing. From our approach to working together and sustainability to how we build our products, our decisions need to make the world - and Starling - a better place to be. Everyone at Starling is essential to our mission, which is really quite simple: to solve our customer's problems - and build the best bank in the world! And now we're providing Starling to other banks, via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) proposition through our subsidiary Engine, using the proprietary technology platform that it uses to power our own bank. The Role: Starling is a technology company at its core, and we are now evolving our People function to mirror the sophistication of our banking platform. As we scale beyond 4,000 employees, we are moving away from manual, legacy trackers to build a world-class, automated data ecosystem. We are looking for a People Analytics Architect to own this transition. This is a high-autonomy 'founding role' where you will build the infrastructure from scratch and deliver the strategic insights that steer our Board and Executive Committee. Responsibilities of the role will include: Function Architecture: Design and implement our first dedicated People Analytics function. You will lead the transition from manual "offline trackers" to a sophisticated, automated reporting ecosystem that serves as the backbone of the People Strategy. Data Governance & Integrity: Act as the guardian of people data. You will establish robust validation checks to eliminate discrepancies (e.g., between Finance and People data) and ensure 100% Board-level reporting accuracy. Strategic Insights & Storytelling: Translate complex, raw data into digestible visual narratives and "People Health" dashboards. Your work will enable the Executive team to make high-stakes, real-time decisions at pace. Regulatory & Statutory Leadership: Own the end-to-end delivery of critical statutory reporting, including Gender Pay Gap and Pillar 3 disclosures. You will ensure our controls are robust to satisfy internal risk frameworks and external regulators. Operational Efficiencies Design and deploy self-service tools and MI Inventories. This will empower People Partners and Managers to access high-quality insights independently, reducing the manual burden on the core team. Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with the central Technology Data team to integrate People data into the wider Starling Data Warehouse. You will identify opportunities to automate manual modeling and data cutting. Requirements "Builder" Track Record: Proven experience building a People Analytics capability from the ground up within a high-growth Tech or highly regulated Financial Services environment. Analytical Rigor: Extensive experience interpreting complex datasets to provide actionable commercial insights, not just raw numbers. Technical Toolkit: Proficiency in data visualisation tools (specifically Looker) and an interest in automating data modeling through programming or advanced tooling. High Autonomy: Comfortable tackling ambiguous, complex problems and delivering cross-functional projects with minimal oversight. Communication & Influencing skills: Exceptional ability to communicate complex data findings to non-technical stakeholders (Board/Exec) in a clear and accessible manner. Workday Mastery: Deep expertise in Workday HRIS data structures and report writing would be nice to have. Benefits 25 days holiday (plus take your public holiday allowance whenever works best for you) An extra day's holiday for your birthday Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off 16 hours paid volunteering time a year Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme Life insurance at 4x your salary Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton Generous family-friendly policies Perkbox membership giving access to retail discounts, a wellness platform for physical and mental health, and weekly free and boosted perks Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work and Salary Sacrificed Gym partnerships About Us You may be put off applying for a role because you don't tick every box.

Since our founding in 2009, we've grown to a diverse team of over 1,700 professionals across 40+ offices and 29+ markets worldwide. Joining Ebury means becoming part of a collaborative and innovative environment where your contributions are valued. You'll play a key role in shaping the future of cross-border finance, while advancing your own career in a dynamic, high-growth industry. Product Ebury London Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week We're building the platform capabilities that will power Ebury's future, enabling faster global expansion, reducing time-to-market for new products, and creating the technical foundation for our client onboarding and activation experiences. This is a critical role where you'll balance the urgent needs of product delivery with the strategic vision of building scalable platform infrastructure. You'll lead the development of our platform domain, including capabilities like our form builder, API-driven onboarding, etc. These aren't just internal tools, they're the foundation that will reduce onboarding journey build time from days to minutes, enable true API-first product capabilities, and unlock our ability to scale across new markets and partner channels. Define and drive platform vision Develop the platform strategy for your area, ensuring alignment with overall product goals and company direction. Translate this vision into a clear, actionable roadmap that balances short-term delivery needs with long-term platform capabilities. Build platform capabilities that enable velocity Own the development of core platform systems including the form builder, API triggered journeys, and modular micro-frontend components. Your work will directly accelerate our ability to launch new markets, expand partner integrations, and reduce manual effort in onboarding and activation flows. Evangelise and create alignment Ensure all stakeholders, from engineering teams to commercial leadership, understand the platform vision, have the context they need, and are aligned on where we're heading. You'll be the voice that bridges platform capabilities with business outcomes. Champion both the customer and the internal developer Represent end users going through client facing journeys whilst also understanding the needs of internal product teams who will build on your platform. Balance the customer experience with developer experience to create solutions that serve both. Author requirements and manage complexity Translate market observations, technical constraints, and stakeholder feedback into a prioritised backlog. Write clear specifications that handle the complexity of authorisation systems, multi-tenant architectures, and API integrations whilst maintaining focus on real-world applications. Partner closely with engineering, onboarding teams, CRM, commercial, and international markets to discover platformisation opportunities. Work hand-in-hand with technical leads to make architectural decisions that will scale globally. Define and track success metrics Own the measures that define success for your platform capabilities, from build time reduction to API adoption rates. Make these metrics visible, interpret them into actionable insights, and use them to drive continuous improvement. Make tough prioritisation calls Balance the needs of urgent product delivery against building platform capabilities that will pay dividends in the future. Navigate competing priorities from multiple stakeholders whilst maintaining a clear, understandable roadmap. Identify new opportunities With your deep understanding of customer needs, technical capabilities, and market dynamics, you're uniquely positioned to identify and develop new platform opportunities that unlock business value.

You've shipped platform capabilities that were adopted by internal or external teams. Strong technical fluency You understand APIs, authentication and authorisation systems, data flows, backend architecture, and frontend frameworks. You can hold your own in technical discussions with senior engineers, challenge architectural decisions constructively whilst translating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Platform thinking You instinctively identify opportunities to build once and leverage many times. You understand the difference between building product features and building the platform capabilities that enable features. You've dealt with the tension between delivery pressure and platform investment, and know how to navigate it. Proven ability to lead in a matrix organisation You've driven complex, cross-functional initiatives from ideation through launch. You know how to build consensus, manage multiple stakeholders with competing needs, and deliver results in ambiguous environments. Exceptional communication skills You can explain technical architecture to commercial teams and business requirements to engineers. You're comfortable presenting to senior leadership and can translate between technical and non-technical audiences seamlessly. Execution focus with attention to detail You get things done. You're methodical, data-driven, and emphasise shipping whilst paying attention to the important details. You make decisions based on evidence, customer feedback, and measurable success criteria. Customer and stakeholder empathy You're not just the voice of the customer, you can channel marketing, finance, engineering, support, and operations perspectives. You understand that great platform products serve multiple audiences with different needs. Experience with relevant technologies Familiarity with micro frontends, building systems, authorisation frameworks (e.g., Keycloak), API design, and modern cloud infrastructure is valuable. Experience in fintech, onboarding flows, or regulated industries is a plus. Bonus Points Background in engineering or a technical role before moving into product management Experience building platforms that serve both B2B and B2B2C use cases Knowledge of KYC/AML flows, identity verification, or financial services onboarding Hands-on experience with API documentation, developer portals, or SDK development Understanding of internationalisation, localisation, and multi-market product challenges Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field Why this Role Matters You'll be setting the foundation for how Ebury scales globally.

London Ebury is a global fintech firm dedicated to empowering businesses to expand internationally through tailored and forward-thinking financial solutions. Since our founding in 2009, we've grown to a diverse team of over 1,700 professionals across 40+ offices and 29+ markets worldwide. Joining Ebury means becoming part of a collaborative and innovative environment where your contributions are valued. You'll play a key role in shaping the future of cross-border finance, while advancing your own career in a dynamic, high-growth industry. Product Ebury London Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week We're building the platform capabilities that will power Ebury's future, enabling faster global expansion, reducing time-to-market for new products, and creating the technical foundation for our client onboarding and activation experiences. This is a critical role where you'll balance the urgent needs of product delivery with the strategic vision of building scalable platform infrastructure. You'll lead the development of our platform domain, including capabilities like our form builder, API-driven onboarding, etc. These aren't just internal tools, they're the foundation that will reduce onboarding journey build time from days to minutes, enable true API-first product capabilities, and unlock our ability to scale across new markets and partner channels. Define and drive platform vision Develop the platform strategy for your area, ensuring alignment with overall product goals and company direction. Translate this vision into a clear, actionable roadmap that balances short-term delivery needs with long-term platform capabilities. Build platform capabilities that enable velocity Own the development of core platform systems including the form builder, API triggered journeys, and modular micro-frontend components. Your work will directly accelerate our ability to launch new markets, expand partner integrations, and reduce manual effort in onboarding and activation flows. Evangelise and create alignment Ensure all stakeholders, from engineering teams to commercial leadership, understand the platform vision, have the context they need, and are aligned on where we're heading. You'll be the voice that bridges platform capabilities with business outcomes. Champion both the customer and the internal developer Represent end users going through client facing journeys whilst also understanding the needs of internal product teams who will build on your platform. Balance the customer experience with developer experience to create solutions that serve both. Author requirements and manage complexity Translate market observations, technical constraints, and stakeholder feedback into a prioritised backlog. Write clear specifications that handle the complexity of authorisation systems, multi-tenant architectures, and API integrations whilst maintaining focus on real-world applications. Partner closely with engineering, onboarding teams, CRM, commercial, and international markets to discover platformisation opportunities. Work hand-in-hand with technical leads to make architectural decisions that will scale globally. Define and track success metrics Own the measures that define success for your platform capabilities, from build time reduction to API adoption rates. Make these metrics visible, interpret them into actionable insights, and use them to drive continuous improvement. Make tough prioritisation calls Balance the needs of urgent product delivery against building platform capabilities that will pay dividends in the future. Navigate competing priorities from multiple stakeholders whilst maintaining a clear, understandable roadmap. Identify new opportunities With your deep understanding of customer needs, technical capabilities, and market dynamics, you're uniquely positioned to identify and develop new platform opportunities that unlock business value. What you'll need 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2-3 years building technical platforms, APIs, or developer-facing products. You've shipped platform capabilities that were adopted by internal or external teams. Strong technical fluency You understand APIs, authentication and authorisation systems, data flows, backend architecture, and frontend frameworks. You can hold your own in technical discussions with senior engineers, challenge architectural decisions constructively whilst translating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Platform thinking You instinctively identify opportunities to build once and leverage many times. You understand the difference between building product features and building the platform capabilities that enable features. You've dealt with the tension between delivery pressure and platform investment, and know how to navigate it. Proven ability to lead in a matrix organisation You've driven complex, cross-functional initiatives from ideation through launch. You know how to build consensus, manage multiple stakeholders with competing needs, and deliver results in ambiguous environments. Exceptional communication skills You can explain technical architecture to commercial teams and business requirements to engineers. You're comfortable presenting to senior leadership and can translate between technical and non-technical audiences seamlessly. Execution focus with attention to detail You get things done. You're methodical, data-driven, and emphasise shipping whilst paying attention to the important details. You make decisions based on evidence, customer feedback, and measurable success criteria. Customer and stakeholder empathy You're not just the voice of the customer, you can channel marketing, finance, engineering, support, and operations perspectives. You understand that great platform products serve multiple audiences with different needs. Experience with relevant technologies Familiarity with micro frontends, building systems, authorisation frameworks (e.g., Keycloak), API design, and modern cloud infrastructure is valuable. Experience in fintech, onboarding flows, or regulated industries is a plus. Bonus Points Background in engineering or a technical role before moving into product management Experience building platforms that serve both B2B and B2B2C use cases Knowledge of KYC/AML flows, identity verification, or financial services onboarding Hands-on experience with API documentation, developer portals, or SDK development Understanding of internationalisation, localisation, and multi-market product challenges Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field Why this Role Matters You'll be setting the foundation for how Ebury scales globally. The platform capabilities you build will determine how quickly we can enter new markets, how efficiently we can onboard partners, and how effectively we can compete in the years ahead. This is a high-impact role where your work will be felt across the entire organisation. We're at an inflection point, moving from a delivery-focused organisation to one where platform thinking enables exponential growth. You'll have the opportunity to shape that transformation and build something that outlasts any single product feature. Why Ebury? Competitive Starting Salary with an annual discretionary bonus that truly rewards your performance from day one. Dedicated Mentorship: Learn directly from experienced managers who are invested in your success. Cutting-Edge Technology: Leverage state-of-the-art tailor made tools and systems that enable you to perform at your best. Clear, Accelerated Career Progression: Defined pathways to leadership and specialist roles within Ebury.
