• Improve analytics and supporting data sets that underpin pricing and forecasting, including greater adoption of AI and tried machine learning from our platforms
• Assess the impact of tactical and central initiatives, track benefits against budget and ensure assumptions remain sound
• Be responsible for the relationship with Group Corporate Treasury, deputise for the MD at ALCOs, and lead discussions at Asset and Liability Pricing Committee and BCB Growth Forum to ensure pricing and liquidity processes are accurate and aligned
