Employees are empowered to share diverse perspectives and are valued, energised and recognised for their ideas and creativity. The Global Banking Senior Analyst helps deliver reliable, well-controlled and continuously improving banking services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, while supporting other regions when required. Reporting to the Global O2C & Banking Lead, the role provides specialist analysis, governance and cross-functional coordination; oversees performance and controls; resolves complex issues; and supports strategic change, including the transition from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. Main Duties and Responsibilities • Run and protect operations: Oversee daily banking operations including bank account management, payments, bank-statement processing, cash monitoring and bank reconciliations across internal teams and service providers. Track volumes, completion, ageing and service levels, intervene early where delivery is at risk, and protect daily, month-end and regulatory deadlines. Ensure recovery actions have clear owners and are followed through to completion. • Resolve issues at pace: Coordinate complex, high-risk and time-critical operational escalations from initial assessment through to closure. Bring together the appropriate Markets, banks, Treasury, Technology, Finance and service-provider stakeholders, clarify impact and required decisions, remove blockers and maintain momentum until service is restored. Support root-cause analysis and sustainable remediation so recurring issues are reduced. • Reduce open items and exceptions: Proactively identify unmatched transactions, exceptions and aged balances before they create material financial, operational or control risk. Challenge recurring patterns, work with teams to establish end-to-end root causes, support agreement of owners and target dates, track actions to sustainable closure and escalate where progress stalls. Verify that preventative controls, automation, process improvements or training reduce recurrence. • Govern payments and access: Oversee the operational execution of manual, urgent, automated and returned payments, ensuring requests are complete, appropriately approved and supported by required evidence. Monitor adherence to delegated authorities and escalation routes and coordinate timely correction of failed or rejected payments. Maintain effective delivery controls over bank accounts, mandates, signatories, e-banking users and approval profiles. • Strengthen controls: Monitor key banking controls and provide assurance that they are performed consistently and on time in line with risk management policies, SOX, anti-fraud and segregation-of-duties requirements. Review completion and evidence, identify missed or ineffective controls and coordinate corrective action. Support audits and control reviews by providing clear evidence, explaining operational processes and progressing remediation actions. • Maintain e-banking connectivity: Monitor banking portals, payment and statement interfaces, SWIFT, host-to-host connections and APIs. Coordinate incident recovery, controlled reprocessing and backlog clearance. • Drive performance and improvement: Use service data, benchmarks and root-cause insights to improve reliability, efficiency, controls and customer outcomes.
