Ideal candidates bring a quantitative degree, Python scripting ability, advanced Excel, and strong numerical reasoning, plus English fluency and legal work rights

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in business economics, industrial economics, finance, statistics, applied mathematics, data science or a comparable quantitative subject.
• Writes Python - able to read, write and debug scripts for data work (pandas or equivalent).
• Has used AI coding tools to build something that works and can walk us through how it works.
• Strong numerical reasoning, comfortable with large datasets, and able to explain clearly why a figure is what it is.
• Advanced Excel and accurate under month-end deadlines, with the judgement to raise something uncertain rather than resolve it quietly.

Responsibilities

• Own the daily and monthly reconciliation of an assigned set of processor and bank accounts end to end - timing differences, reversals, fee legs, FX and trade differences, duplicates and unsettled transactions.
• Investigate breaks to find the cause, not only the amount, and chase unsettled money with payment partners and banks until it is recovered.
• Produce month-end reporting and supporting evidence to audit standard, and keep reconciliation documentation up to date so someone else can run the portfolio.
• Work with Customer Service, Engineering and Product to resolve customer disputes within SLA.
• Write Python to automate the repetitive parts of the reconciliation cycle: ingestion, normalisation, matching passes and exception reporting.
• Use AI coding tools to build automations quickly, get them reviewed, and help build the internal reconciliation tool - writing matching rules, testing against known-good output and documenting the logic.
• Raise recurring breaks that should be fixed upstream with the relevant owner, rather than clearing the same issue every month.
