Regulatory Support: Provide oversight for regulatory submissions (BoE, PRA); however, this is a supporting function rather than the primary focus of the role. Transformation & System Initiatives (Change Agent) System Implementation: Lead the implementation of new financial systems and auto-reconciliation tools to modernize the finance function. Workflow Optimization: Assess and improve the integration between the Core Banking system and the Data Warehouse to streamline financial reporting. Control Enhancement: Redesign and implement workflows for the month-end process to eliminate manual intervention and increase data integrity.
