You are expected to meet agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) relating to transaction processing times and complaints handling, contributing to continuous process improvement and compliance with Global Process Standards.

As a versatile team member, you will provide backup support to other supervisory desks as required, ensuring seamless operations within the cash management function.
