• responding to audit and regulator requests
• impact assessments for new products and BAU changes, liaising with Data, Technology and Platform teams

• You will ideally have domain knowledge in financial risk, treasury, or regulatory reporting.
• You will be able to recognise the critical importance of data and have a passion for getting it right. In addition, you'll embrace change and be able to flex and adapt to the changing needs of our dynamic business. You will also have an excellent analytical capacity supported by clear and concise communication skills, a focus on high quality and timely delivery, well developed process skills and the ability to prioritise, manage parallel tasks, and project deliverables. Finally, you are highly motivated, flexible, willing to take ownership of delivery in a fast-paced and outcome focused environment.
