Senior Proposition Manager - Everyday Money Management

Our Product and Proposition team have an exciting new opportunity to join them as Senior Propositions Manager for Everyday Banking, including Personal Current Accounts, Savings and Unsecured lending. This role is responsible for the development of our future Group retail banking proposition, working with teams to integrate the Coventry Building Society and Co-operative Bank’s existing products and propositions towards our our end-state strategy. This is a key opportunity to help define and bring to market the Groups ambitious long term Everyday Banking strategy at a pivotal moment in the organisations’ history.

The role holder will work with a wide range of stakeholders across the business to lead and develop propositions and future business plans, as well as to support the Commercial Office in integrating the two organisations across customer, commercial and IT focused projects.

As proposals worked up by the Senior Manager and team move through the delivery cycle to the live environment, the role will act as a business lead for these proposals, working closely with delivery teams, responsible for implementing changes to existing product ranges and acting as guardian to the overall vision and design of new propositions. Leading an established team and continuing to place heavy emphasis on their development will be key.

This role can operate from either our Head Office campus in Binley, Coventry or our Manchester office but as a Group role, travel to both locations will be required occasionally. A team-led hybrid working arrangement is in place.
