• Conduct analytical work required within Fair Value Assessments and Pricing Policy reviews, ensuring they are completed to a high standard, with input from across the business and in a timely manner
  

Essential skills/experience:

• Numerical skills to understand Pricing impacts and outcomes, and the ability to find creative solutions to support the business in the effective management of Risks and issues

• Ability to conduct analysis and formalise insights from various analytical work
  
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate issues concisely to key stakeholders at various levels and in various forums
