Skills we’d love to see: - Comfortable experimenting with AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) to accelerate analysis, automate repetitive modelling tasks, and improve output quality - Experience with VBA, Excel-based financial models, or BI tools (e.g. Tableau, Looker) for reporting and scenario analysis - Experience supporting audit, model validation, or internal review processes - Knowledge of ECL / impairment modelling under IFRS 9 We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong.
