Full job description

Who are we?

At Finastra, we’re a global leader in financial services software, dedicated to expanding access to financial services and shaping what’s next for the industry. Our technology powers mission‑critical solutions across Lending, Payments and Universal Banking, supporting over 7,000 customers, including 80% of the world’s top 50 banks, in more than 110 countries.

Finastra is seeking a Corporate Strategy Director to support the delivery of major corporate‑level strategic initiatives during a critical phase of execution.

This is a senior individual contributor role, working closely with the CEO, Executive Leadership Team (ELT), and Board. The role sits within a lean corporate strategy team and reports to the SVP of Strategy and Chief of Staff.

Role Overview

The Corporate Strategy Director will play a key role in supporting the planning, analysis, and execution of enterprise‑wide strategic initiatives. These initiatives typically span multiple business units and functions and require strong ownership, pace, and coordination to deliver clearly defined outcomes.

This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused strategy role. It is not a people‑management position and does not involve line management. Success requires the ability to work independently, structure ambiguous problems, and deliver high‑quality outputs that senior leaders rely on in a fast‑paced environment.

The role will also provide targeted support to corporate development activity, including strategic fit assessments and early‑stage due diligence, and contribute to ESG‑related initiatives from a strategy and delivery perspective. Deep ESG subject‑matter expertise is not required.

Key Responsibilities

Support the development and execution of Finastra’s corporate‑level strategy in close collaboration with the CEO and Strategy leadership
Provide rigorous analytical and research support across strategic initiatives, including industry and market trends, competitive analysis, and financial modelling
Develop business cases and scenario analyses to support strategic decision‑making
Work directly with business units and functional teams to define scope, structure workstreams, and drive delivery of cross‑functional initiatives
Provide programme support across multiple concurrent initiatives, including timeline management, identification of risks and dependencies, and progress tracking
Communicate clear, concise updates and insights to senior stakeholders, including ELT members
Support corporate development activity, including strategic fit assessments and early‑stage due diligence
Contribute to ESG initiatives as part of the broader corporate strategy, working alongside subject‑matter experts as required
Build a strong understanding of Finastra’s products, customers, and strategic priorities
Provide bespoke analytical and delivery support for CEO‑level initiatives, Board materials, and external stakeholder discussions

Skills and Experience

Experience gained within a top‑tier strategy consulting firm, complemented by broader commercial or industry experience
Experience in software and/or financial services environments
Strong strategic thinking and analytical capability, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and work with complex information
Proven ability to operate as a senior individual contributor, delivering high‑quality outputs at pace
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility at senior and ELT level
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and take full ownership of deliverables
Pragmatic, delivery‑focused, and resilient in a fast‑paced environment
Exposure to ESG topics is helpful, but this is not an ESG specialist or sustainability leadership role.

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship

We are proud to offer a range of incentives to our employees worldwide. These benefits are available to everyone, regardless of grade, and reflect the values we stand for:

Health & Financial Security: Medical, life and disability insurance, retirement plans, lifestyle, and other benefits.*

Sustainability: Paid time off for volunteering and donation‑matching opportunities to support causes that matter to you.

Inclusion: Get involved in our inclusion communities, such as Count Me In, Culture@Finastra, Proud@Finastra, Disabilities@Finastra, and Women@Finastra—open to everyone who wants to participate and contribute.

Career Development: Access online learning and accredited courses through our Skills & Career Navigator tool.

Recognition: Take part in our global recognition program, Finastra Celebrates, and share your voice through regular employee surveys that help shape our culture and ways of working.

Specific benefits may vary by location.
