• Supporting the onboarding of new introducers and reviewing requests for vendor programme limit increases
• Contributing to reporting and portfolio monitoring requirements
• Identifying and proposing process improvements to optimise deal flow and enhance customer service
• Working closely with senior stakeholders to continuously refine and strengthen the proposal review framework
