Performance Manager - Strategy & Transformation

MARS are working on an exciting opportunity for a Performance Manager to join a high-impact Executive Office team within a major financial services organisation. This is a newly created role designed to support strategic priorities, drive cost optimisation, and contribute to large-scale technology and operational transformation.

This is not a traditional BAU role - it's a unique chance to work directly alongside executive leadership to tackle critical business problems, support strategic planning, and help shape the future of technology and operations.

What You'll Be Doing:

Collaborating cross-functionally with Technology, Finance, and Risk to identify performance improvement opportunities
Supporting strategic initiatives such as budget optimisation, capability uplift, and vendor/licensing rationalisation
Building compelling narratives and insights through structured problem-solving, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement
Contributing to executive-level presentations, operating model design, and continuous improvement projects
Owning your own area of impact within a lean, high-performing team, with the opportunity to scale and grow into broader strategic initiatives

Key skills:

1-3 years' experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or transformation roles
A natural problem solver with strong analytical capability and structured thinking
Excellent communicator with confidence engaging senior stakeholders
Comfortable working in ambiguity and driving outcomes across multiple workstreams
Proficiency with Excel or BI tools is a bonus, but not essential

Why This Role?

High visibility role working closely with the Executive Office and senior leadership
No BAU grind - every week presents new challenges and opportunities to add value
Growth-focused environment - the team is passionate about developing talent and giving you room to step up
Flexible working, collaborative culture, and a team that values fresh thinking and ownership
If you're someone who loves solving complex problems, working with smart people, and making a genuine impact - we'd love to hear from you.
