• Contribute to the development of best practices and processes for consistent report development across Vermilion.
• Deliver assigned work within agreed timescales and quality metrics.
• Support VRS BAU Lead and Project Lead with requirement gathering, effort estimation, technical design, development planning, and delivery.
• Provide feedback on potential interdependencies across departments, products, and projects.
• Produce technical specification documents in a timely manner for senior review.
• Ensure all documentation and operational guides are completed and approved by the VRS Development Manager.
• Build strong collaborative relationships with clients, technology partners, and operational teams to quickly understand requirements, resolve issues, suggest solutions, and identify opportunities for service improvement.

Development Value

• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and expanding business with excellent career growth potential.
• Exposure to a highly proficient team in a rapidly evolving environment.
• Chance to broaden industry knowledge and strengthen communication and project management skills.
• Build relationships across the wider global business.

• Strong SQL and scripting skills.
• Strong technical analysis skills, with the ability to interpret complex data structures and reporting requirements.
• Experience working in Agile project delivery environments.
• Familiarity with all phases of client reporting, from requirements to production implementation.
• Ability to interpret BRDs and deliver solutions within agreed timeframes.
• Experience creating customised templates (connectors, data sources, components, sections).
• Experience building customised workflows (obligations, tasks, process flows).
• Strong knowledge of report generation and deployment processes.
• Prior experience with investment banking reporting and modules.
• Experience collaborating with data mart development teams.
• Familiarity with painter‑based reporting solutions such as Vermilion Reporting Suite, Kurtosis, Crystal Reports designer, Tableau or similar.
