• Provide training and ongoing support to outsource teams capturing fundamental data, and handle exceptions to support consistent high data quality
• Collaborate with the product team to ensure accurate product display on NBFI content
• Assist in the creation of key management reporting on a monthly basis, and present results to stakeholders on a quarterly basis

What You Need to Have:

• Experience of working with financial institutions data, in an accountancy, auditing, counterparty credit risk environment, with an understanding of IFRS, GAAP & wider accounting fundamental processes
