• Deliver changes and enhancements to existing reports, ensuring outputs are complete, validated and fit for purpose.
• Produce focused analysis and insight that directly answers defined business questions, primarily across finance and commercial domains.
• Deliver high‑quality analytical outputs that are fully validated, well‑documented and repeatable, applying automation where appropriate to improve efficiency and minimise rework.
• Manage multiple concurrent requests, balancing urgency and priority, and actively closing actions to completion.

• Tableau (or equivalent) dashboard and report development.
• Working knowledge of SQL for data extraction and validation.
