Join the Wholesale Operations team at FCE Bank plc (Ford Credit) in our Manchester Business Centre. We power Ford Motor Company and our network of dealerships across Europe by managing essential wholesale funding, credit facilities, and daily financial operations.

This is far more than routine administration: you will be the bilingual face of Ford Credit for our French dealership partners, resolving complex financial queries, balancing high-value transactions, and driving operational efficiency in a collaborative, cross-border environment.

  • Transaction Processing: Execute dealer settlements, clearances, wholesale credit exposures, and facility rewrites swiftly and accurately.
  • Continuous Improvement: Contribute to global optimisation projects, support knowledge sharing, and assist with system rollouts and process quality enhancements.
  • Cross-Market Collaboration: Support peer teams across the Business Centre during peak volumes and absences to maintain seamless European operations.
Qualifications
  • Bilingual Fluency: Fluent business-level proficiency (written and spoken) in both French and English (essential).
  • Financial / Operational Acumen: Prior experience in banking, credit control, accounts receivable, reconciliation, or fast-paced customer finance is advantageous.
  • Analytical Problem Solver: High attention to detail with the ability to reconcile accounts, investigate ledger variances, and balance competing deadlines.
  • Customer Focus: A proactive mindset committed to delivering excellent service and upholding the principles of Fair Treatment of Customers.
  • Agility & Teamwork: Comfortable adapting to shifting priorities within a collaborative, international team structure.

Why Join Our Team?

  • Competitive Salary: Plus Ford corporate benefits.
  • Balanced Core Hours: Monday to Friday operating between 08:00 and 16:15 (aligned with European market hours).
  • European Bank Holiday Policy: UK bank holidays worked to support open European markets are compensated with days off in lieu.
  • Career Growth: Comprehensive banking and compliance training provided, with clear pathways to rotate across wider business centre functions.
