About the role

• Assess whether identified differences are material or recurring, prioritize the follow-up work, and bring significant valuation, methodology, data, or software issues to senior team members.
• Maintain a clear record of findings, decisions, supporting evidence, and agreed solutions, then retest changes to confirm that each issue is resolved.
• Document software issues clearly so developers can reproduce, prioritize, and resolve them.
• Support onboarding validation by confirming that portfolio data, security mappings, model configurations, and valuation results meet agreed readiness and acceptance criteria.
• Turn recurring findings into stronger processes, validation checks, training materials, and technology enhancements.
