We’re Standard Life, a retirement specialist focused entirely on retirement savings and income. We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.
Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices.

We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.
We have an incredible opportunity to join us as a Head of Performance & Analysis to join our Group FP&A team.
The role
A strategic and analytical leader is sought to join the FP&A team, taking ownership of the Group’s performance reporting and management information (MI). This role oversees the delivery of high-quality, timely reporting that measures performance against plan and provides robust forecasts. The insights generated will support transparency for the Life/ Group CFO, Executive Committee (ExCo), and the Board.
The successful candidate will focus on enhancing reporting frameworks and processes to enable better decision-making and drive continuous improvement. This role plays a pivotal part in shaping the organisation’s understanding of its market position, identifying performance gaps and opportunities, and translating external intelligence into actionable recommendations.
This position offers the opportunity to engage with senior stakeholders, including ExCo, to define and measure performance against KPIs aligned with the strategic direction of the organisation.
