• An understanding of risk management, customer needs and operational/service delivery in a financial services or regulated environment.
• Strong stakeholder skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with clients and across internal teams such as Coverage, Product, Risk and Operations.
• Good analytical skills, with experience using information, client data or research to identify themes, trends, issues and opportunities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of explaining information clearly and supporting strong client outcomes.
• A proactive, organised and resilient approach, with the ability to manage priorities and work effectively in a collaborative team.

And any experience of these would be great:

• Portfolio management, relationship management support, client service or a similar financial services environment.
• Experience using client relationship management systems or portfolio management tools.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities, and we're committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.
