• Analyse, map, and improve business processes through simplification and automation
• Support risk analysis across financial and non-financial risk domains

Experience with Microsoft Copilot or Copilot Studio, along with exposure to Databricks, Azure AI, Power Platform tools (such as Power Automate), or business process analysis and improvement, will be highly regarded.
