• Preparing high‑quality data for loading into a new reconciliation tool
• Providing regular progress updates and partnering with teams across finance

Strong RTR exposure, exceptional attention to detail, and a love of problem‑solving. You'll be comfortable working at pace with large data volumes, confident with Excel, and motivated by driving accuracy, clarity, and improvement. Resilience, collaboration, and clear communication are essential.

Desirable experience

• High‑volume reconciliation environments
• Data cleansing or finance transformation projects
• Oracle ERP exposure

Why this project is exciting

You'll be at the heart of a major finance transformation, shaping cleaner data, better controls, and a more efficient reconciliation process. It's a great stepping stone into future opportunities across finance operations, continuous improvement, or broader financial management.
