The Role

As a Product Portfolio, Data & Analytics Specialist reporting to the Sr Director, Product Portfolio Operations & Transformation, you will build and run the engine behind the Financial Technology division’s Capital Allocation process and decisions.

• Implement and maintain the Operational and Transformation KPI dashboard in partnership with Finance.

• Support the development of key business cases as needed, partnering with Finance and Strategy.

• Prepare portfolio materials and analyses for quarterly and annual strategic planning and senior management forums.

• Advanced data and analytics capability, including Excel modelling and BI / visualization tooling (e.g., Power BI); comfortable structuring datasets and automating reporting, leveraging AI.

• Excellent communication skills (English), with the ability to translate data into clear recommendations for senior audiences.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (e.g., MBA, MSc in Finance or Analytics) or relevant certification.

• Experience in financial services, fintech or software, and familiarity with product P&L and capital-allocation frameworks.

• Working knowledge of planning or financial systems (e.g., Anaplan) and data tooling (SQL, Python).

• Experience applying AI to automate processes, reporting, and analytics.

• Ability to work across global teams and time zones.
