• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, leveraging emerging technologies including AI to accelerate productivity and enhance the customer experience.

You’ll bring a minimum of 7+ years Finance or Banking experience, with a preferred speciality in either Financial Markets, SDLC, or data driven industries. You can demonstrate where you have successfully delivered initiatives within a highly complex and regulated business, and effectively managed stakeholders and achieved outcomes. You will bring:

• Agile delivery experience, demonstrating where you’ve previously led initiatives in innovation, simplification and continuous improvement.

• Proficiency in SQL and comfort writing queries against large production databases.

• Strong data and BI tooling capability to drive sales growth, customer insights, and commercial decision-making.

• Tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline such as Economics, Finance, Computer or Data Science. Post-graduate qualification desirable.

• Ability to speak with confidence and well-reasoned judgement in robust commercial discussions, and articulate complex concepts to a wider audience, to support decision making processes.

• Effectively lead multiple and competing pieces of work within tight timeframes, and problem solve when faced with complex challenges.
