• Confident communicator, comfortable working with Trading, Operations, Finance and global stakeholders
• Collaborative approach combined with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Interest in improving processes and driving automation or digital solutions
• Practical experience using Python, Microsoft Copilot or low-code tools such as Power Automate to analyse data and streamline or automate workflows, as well as solid Microsoft Office skills
