Graduate Reconciliation Specialist - Automations

Skills

About the Role

You will own daily and monthly reconciliations for assigned processor and bank accounts, covering timing differences, reversals, fees, foreign exchange, trade differences, duplicates, and unsettled transactions. You will investigate the root causes of breaks and follow up with payment partners and banks until outstanding funds are recovered. You will prepare month-end reports and audit-ready supporting evidence, maintain reconciliation documentation, and help resolve customer disputes within agreed service levels. You will also use Python and AI coding tools to automate data ingestion, normalisation, matching, and exception reporting. As the internal reconciliation tool develops, you will write matching rules, test them against known-good outputs, document their logic, and escalate recurring issues for upstream resolution.
