• Working closely with business stakeholders to address underlying issues and implement effective solutions.
• Tools like PowerBI to generate actionable insights from control data sets.
• Communicating findings and recommendations effectively through storytelling and visualisation.
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation to drive engagement and adoption.

It would be great if you also have …

• Strong knowledge of Consumer products such as car finance, credit cards, loans, mortgages.
• An understanding of data analytics and visualisation tools (e.g. PowerBI) as well as AI tools.
• Conducted research considering multiple perspectives to enable analysis of key themes.
• Familiarity with Group policy frameworks and governance.
• Solid understanding of risk strategy and its application in operational environments.
