Your day to day

Regular Reporting & Insight

• Ensuring that all tasks detailed in your objectives are delivered on time.

• Being pro-active around the reports. Markets and business can change so quickly that we must stay ahead of the game and if a report is of no longer use it is discarded and replaced with something valuable to the business.

• Our aim is that we spend time adding insights rather than building reports by utilizing the RPA process and OAC.

• Building your skillset to deliver OAC reports will be a priority.

Ad Hoc Requests

• Your Financial Business Partners will request certain reports based on a particular area of focus. The aim is that we support them as these will be urgent requests. We can only do this by making sure we have good control of the regular activities.

• Speed is very important in thus role, if something is asked it must be delivered fast.

Team Support

• Working with the UK team closely for guidance and support. This will be helped by regular communication by attending weekly meetings, participating in the extended monthly meeting, and contributing to our MS “Teams” page.

• Working with the India team to support them and to be able to ask for support during periods of leave. Again, attending shared meetings will help in this regard.

• Working with the Amer team to feel part of their team by building relationships and joining team meetings
