SpareBank 1 Østlandet is a listed savings bank with a strong focus on delivering on financial targets. We are looking for a person with a financial and economic background and solid work experience to work in a newly established department for financial business management and improvement.

You will initiate and drive change processes that contribute to increased profitability in the group. Your main task will be to plan, implement and lead financial improvement projects in the bank, where cost management and efficiency improvement will be particularly important. We are looking for someone who is triggered by the opportunity to influence and improve, and who dares to challenge.

Much of the work will take place across units in the bank, so you must also have good collaboration skills. You will help ensure that the Group has effective and relevant processes and systems for financial management and improvement work, so you must like numbers and structure. You'll report to the Head of Financial Management, but you'll also be directly involved in projects for the CEO and CFO. With us, you will have the opportunity to lead important financial projects and processes in an environment characterized by collaboration, trust and continuous learning.
