• Document data processes and methodologies

What you'll gain

• Hands-on experience working with enterprise finance systems and real-world business data
• The opportunity to build dashboards and analysis used by finance leaders
• Exposure to end-to-end finance operations in a global organisation
• Experience identifying and delivering process improvements with measurable impact
• Mentorship from experienced professionals across finance and data analytics
• A strong foundation for a future career in data, analytics, or finance

What we're looking for

• Studying towards a degree in a numerate discipline (e.g. data science, statistics, economics, computer science)
• Proficiency in Excel; working knowledge of Python, R or SQL is an advantage
• Ability to communicate findings clearly to a non-technical audience
• Organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with large datasets
