  • Assessing the impact of corporate development activity to our financial statements.
  • Support the year-end audit process, working closely with the Bank’s external auditors.
  • Identify improvements in internal controls, as well as working with the Finance Transformation team to automate processes.

  • Experience of working in the Banking/FinTech/Financial Services industry, either in audit or in industry.
