• Provide meaningful KRIs, trend analysis and actionable insight to senior stakeholders and Boards.
• Engage with internal and external auditors and support regulatory reviews and assurance activity.

Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Mentor Analysts and Technical team members, promoting strong control culture and continuous improvement.
• Represent FNZ at industry forums and attend key CASS committees where required.

• Strong experience in CASS oversight, reconciliation design and automated control environments.
• Advanced Excel skills (including Power Query); SQL and Power BI experience highly desirable.
• Proven ability to analyse complex datasets and translate findings into clear, actionable insight.
• Experience working through structured change lifecycles and delivering right‑first‑time outcomes.
• Confident communicator, able to influence and challenge senior stakeholders and external parties.
• Highly organised self‑starter with sound judgement and a strong risk mindset.
