A unique role in working closely with a range of stakeholders in Finance, Treasury and wider operational support to blend systems knowledge with finance acumen to delivery support and enhancements to the department.

Due to the nature of the work, applicants will ideally have a grounding in finance, either through their degree or with career experience to date and be looking to move into a systems focused position that will utilise this.

  • Enhancing current reporting or system functionality where possible – taking a keen interest in this and leading on your own workstack
  • Advanced excel skills and comfortable with a range of data analysis tools

Applicants will be able to show an interest and passion for this area and have strong written and communication skills.
