Lead the finance team that helps ING shape better decisions on cost, capacity, investment, productivity and strategic execution.

This is a senior finance leadership role for someone who wants more than a traditional business partnering position.

The role sits at the centre of how ING connects performance, investment choices and business priorities. Youll shape the next generation of Corporate Functions finance partnering, and bring sharper challenge to cost, workforce, initiative and productivity decisions. It is a role for someone who can simplify complexity, influence senior stakeholders and lift the standard of finance advice beyond reporting numbers.

This role is for someone who can support executive decision-making, challenge assumptions, and help shape how Finance partners with Corporate Functions through stronger insight, practical recommendations and clear leadership.

• Manage and coach the Corporate Functions Finance Business Advice team, setting priorities, standards and clear ownership across portfolios.

• Partner directly with senior leaders across Technology, Operations, Staff Functions and Transformation Office, helping shape major cost, workforce, investment and productivity decisions.

• Influence senior decision-making by turning financial insight into clear choices, trade-offs and recommendations.

• Turn complex cost drivers, workforce movements, business cases, allocations and initiatives into clear financial implications, trade-offs and recommendations.

• Own the Corporate Functions performance and expense story across recurring finance cycles, making sure risks, opportunities and actions are clear.

• Support investment choices and benefits realisation so spend remains connected to outcomes and business value.

• Improve transparency of support function costs and allocations so stakeholders understand what is driving performance.

• Shape how Finance partners with Corporate Functions by setting the standard for business insight

What we're looking for

• CA, CPA or equivalent qualification with a Bachelors degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline, combined with significant experience in Finance Business Partnering, FP&A, Commercial Finance, Cost Management, or Performance Management.

• Proven experience in leading a team with a track record of coaching, supporting, and lifting the performance of finance teams.

• Demonstrated ability to influence senior management through commercial insight, strategic problem solving and compelling financial storytelling.

• Experience supporting complex cost bases within Banking, Financial Services, or another regulated industry, with the confidence to influence

• Sound financial modelling capability

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to simplify complex financial information into clear, practical and actionable recommendations.
