Maintain programme records, trackers and management information across business systems.
Support underwriting teams with research, data gathering and committee papers.
Contribute to the development of governance frameworks, audit processes and portfolio oversight activities.

Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
Comfortable managing multiple priorities and following tasks through to completion.
Confident communicator who can engage with internal stakeholders and external partners.
Strong Microsoft Office skills and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
