• Designing and implementing automated solutions using Python and SQL to streamline routine tasks, automate data ingestion and transformation, and enhance operational efficiency
• Establishing and maintaining accurate documentation of process maps, procedures, workflows and system configurations, and embedding robust controls
• Mentoring junior analysts through code review, pairing and knowledge sharing
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for automation and process improvement, and contributing to broader investment projects

What you’ll bring:

• Strong practical Python and SQL to extract, clean, transform and automate investment or financial data at scale
• A demonstrated track record designing and building data visualisations and dashboards (e.g. Power BI)
