• Direct Exposure to a strategic technology platform that spans multiple functions and asset classes
• Fast paced, dynamic environment with significant opportunities for career growth
• Close partnership with Credit Business
Skills Profile

• Creative, quick-thinking, pragmatic, with an aptitude for solving problems with technology and an ability to quickly translate requirements into a sound technical design and implementation.
• Proven organisational skills, decisive priority management, strong teamwork ethic, excellent verbal & written communication skills.
Knowledge/Experience
