Analytical and detail‑focused, you are skilled at identifying patterns, assessing risk, and making sound decisions. You communicate clearly and confidently with colleagues, stakeholders, and customers, and you take a proactive approach to improving processes and controls. You are committed to delivering positive customer outcomes and contributing to continuous improvement across the business.
