Global Banking & Markets - Multiple Teams

The Finance & Strategy team operates at the analytical core of Global Banking & Markets, serving as a trusted partner to divisional leadership in shaping performance, advancing strategic priorities, and elevating the analytical rigor and precision with which the Division measures and manages its performance. Our mandate spans revenue and expense analytics, forecasting and business planning, compensation analytics, competitive intelligence, and the automation of reporting workflows — positioning the team as a key driver of data-informed decision-making at the most senior levels of the firm.

We bring together individuals with backgrounds across consulting, financial modeling, accounting, risk management, and technology & engineering. What unites us is a bias for ownership: individuals at every level are trusted to contribute to strategic initiatives, participate in key workstreams, and deliver analyses that inform decisions across the Division.

Our edge is increasingly defined by how effectively we pair financial judgment with modern data tooling and AI-assisted workflows. We are looking for someone who is as comfortable examining a P&L as they are building an automated pipeline or leveraging an LLM to accelerate analysis.

• Financial Analytics — Build and maintain performance analytics and periodic reporting on divisional revenue, expenses, and shareholder returns. Design executive-grade dashboards that serve as the single source of truth for decision-making.
• Financial Process Modernization — Proactively identify operational inefficiencies and partner with cross-functional teams to automate and streamline them — increasingly leveraging AI tooling and solutions to eliminate manual effort.
• Business Planning & Forecasting — Develop and track new initiatives and collaborate with cross-functional partners to support the execution of multi-year and intra-year revenue and expense budgeting and forecasting.
• Competitive Intelligence — The Finance & Strategy team owns investment banking and trading competitive analytics for the GBM division. Deliver sophisticated benchmarking and market-share analysis of peer performance across FICC, Equities, and Banking to inform strategic positioning.
• Expense Management — Act as a steward of the Division's cost base, partnering on efficiency projects and delivering transparent, accurate reporting.
