Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As part of my role, I’ll be working in a fast-paced environment where I’ll combine my analytical expertise and numerical skills. I’ll be responsible for designing and developing both scheduled and ad hoc reports on profit and performance, updating and analysing reports that drive decision-making across the business, and helping create business cases and growth plans to improve business performance. I will also be conducting data collation, interrogation, and analysis on datasets in areas like Contract Hire, Finance Lease, Corporate and Value-Added Products for both Retail and Fleet. Additionally, I’ll be attending meetings with subject matter experts to create and update procedures and helping with the auditing, reconciliation, and invoicing of Tactical investments, exceeding £100m per annum.
