The role

• Complete development and testing activities in line with continuous improvement and project needs.
• Follow process documentation and maintain clear audit trails.
• Take responsibility for own work, driving tasks forward and investigating queries.
• Maintain effective communication and build good working relationships with other teams.
• Proactively contribute to the feedback culture, supporting own and others’ development.

What are we looking for?

• Strong Excel skills.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Proactive and organised, with the ability to work as part of a team in a fast-paced environment delivering to tight deadlines.
