We’re looking for an Operations analyst to join our Transfers team, where you’ll be responsible for processing transfers accurately and on time across multiple wrapper types. This is a fast paced and varied role that will require you to adapt quickly to changing priorities, move seamlessly between different tasks and processes, and stay focused in a busy operational environment.
You’ll balance pace with precision, managing competing demands while consistently delivering high quality outcomes. Working closely with colleagues across Operations and our customer facing teams, you’ll help processes run efficiently and resolve queries and issues within agreed service levels. Alongside day to day processing, you’ll use your operational knowledge and experience to improve processes, reduce risk and support automation, helping us build a more scalable and resilient operations function for the future.
Supporting your Senior analyst with regular business reporting
An analytical problem solver, delivery focussed and a trusted member of the team, you will support the wider business by answering queries in a timely manner
Investigating and taking end to end ownership of our transfer processes. Ensuring issues are resolved in line with regulatory and customer agreed SLAs

You rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression

You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen
You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty
