We’re looking for a detail driven and analytically minded Master Data \& KPI Fnance Analyst to play a pivotal role in strengthening the accuracy, consistency, and visibility of our supplier and client data.

  • Strengthen financial controls and compliance by performing regular data integrity audits, supporting AP/AR/Banking process simplification, maintaining the SSC control framework, and ensuring accuracy and integrity in all reporting and savings sign off.

  • Lead reporting and insight activities, producing monthly and weekly KPI packs, balance sheet reporting, government submissions, and supporting balance sheet reconciliations with challenge and analysis.

  • Oversee P card and portal administration, including issuing cards, monitoring usage, completing journals, conducting fraud checks, and developing tools, templates, and process improvements across the SSC.
