• Oversee monthly CDS volume reporting and support annual audit and compliance requirements
• Look for opportunities to simplify reporting, automate manual processes and continuously improve how the team works

What you’ll bring

• Experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A and Finance Business Partnering is a must.
