* Providing guidance on a range of technical queries and primary supervision to a small group of colleagues performing junior professional tasks.
* Assisting with the planning of projects, scheduling of implementations, maintenance of project plans, liaising with technical departments, users, and other colleagues as required.
* Assisting more senior colleagues to ensure that all work within the area is completed accurately and adheres to specified Group policies, processes and procedures, and relevant external regulations where required.
* Investigating platform data to understand transactional activity. Data analysis, using Excel, will form a significant part of the role.

What you’ll need:
* Good understanding and practical application of CASS rules, experience of using Finance systems and processes, journals, and knowledge of double entry.
* Ability to analyse transactional data.
