·                Analyse large and complex operational datasets to identify trends, root causes, risks and improvement opportunities, translating findings into actionable recommendations for Operations management.

·                Maintain robust data-quality controls, reconciliations, lineage, access management and validation checks to ensure outputs are complete, accurate, timely and auditable.

·                Design, build and support automated Operations workflows using Power Automate and approved Microsoft 365 applications.

·                Assess automation and process-improvement opportunities, considering benefit, cost, risk, control impact, resilience and maintainability.

·                Develop requirements, process maps, solution documentation, test scenarios, operating procedures and implementation plans; coordinate user acceptance testing, defect management and controlled deployment.

·                Maintain accurate project plans, JIRA records, risks, dependencies, decisions, approvals, status reporting and implementation evidence, escalating material or unresolved issues promptly.

·                Provide business-as-usual technical support for dashboards, datasets, refresh processes and automated workflows, including incident triage, root-cause analysis and controlled releases.

·                Partner with Operations stakeholders across the front-to-back securities trade lifecycle and support onboarding, knowledge transfer, cross-training and continuous improvement.

·                Comply with all applicable risk, regulatory and internal policy obligations, including the Société Générale Group Code of Conduct and relevant conduct standards.

·                Undertake additional duties as required.

·                Advanced Power BI expertise, including DAX, Power Query, data modelling, dashboard design and performance optimisation, together with strong Excel and Microsoft 365 skills.

·                Experience developing and supporting Power Automate workflows, with working knowledge of SQL and structured data analysis.

·                Proven ability to manage large operational datasets, applying effective controls over data quality, reconciliation, lineage, access, validation and auditability.

·                Working knowledge of the front-to-back securities trade lifecycle and its key operational risks, controls and performance indicators.

·                Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and translate complex data into clear, actionable insight for Operations management.

·                Experience owning reporting, automation or transformation workstreams within defined governance, from requirements and process mapping through testing, implementation and business-as-usual support.

·                Excellent organisation, attention to detail and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to prioritise multiple deliverables and communicate clearly across operational and technical teams.

·                Sound understanding of operational risk, information security, change control and controlled production environments, with appropriate judgement regarding validation, decision-making and escalation.

·                A collaborative and continuous-improvement mindset, with the ability to support users, share knowledge and deliver efficient, resilient and maintainable solutions.
