What you'll do

We're recruiting for a Margin Assurance Lead Analyst to join our Mobile Consumer and Fixed Enterprise Finance Operations team at Vodafone UK. This team is responsible for the prevention & detection of cost and revenue leakage across a P&L worth £8 bn per annum. Identification of such leakage is via a suite of assurance controls, focusing upon the accuracy and completeness of our customer billing, as well as verification of invoices received from our suppliers.

As a Margin Assurance Lead Analyst, you will work closely with the Margin Assurance Manager to provide business partnering support to a wide range of departments across Vodafone UK, provide details of any cost or revenue leakage, support them in mitigation of incidents, and evidence due diligence to internal & external auditors, as well as regulatory bodies such as BABT and OFCOM. 

Key responsibilities:

Identification of Cost and Revenue Leakage: This is the most important part of the role, and there will be a focus on maintaining existing, and devising new controls, to increase the level of assurance over our P&L. Controls can run daily, monthly, or quarterly, and the output is reviewed regularly to aid early detection of any leakage.  Create the Future – Increase Assurance Coverage: In order to increase assurance coverage of our P&L, we need to invest in new technology, obtain access to new data sets, and overhaul our current suite of controls. This role will be required to support the IP&L initiative by engaging with IT regards to our requirements, supporting the design and build process, and where applicable undertaking testing activities.  Business Partnership and Collaboration: Support operational teams in identifying potential cost and revenue leakage, provide impact assessments utilising the extensive data sets held in our internal MA assurance systems (RAID and RATTY), and aid mitigation of the issues to ensure adverse financial impact is minimised.  Reporting and Analysis: Support the month-end process and reporting, working closely with our Finance colleagues to land a clear and accurate month-end and variance analysis. Audit and Compliance: Ensure controls are run in line with audit requirements, and that 100% design and operational effectiveness is achieved. If any concerns are raised, urgent mitigation is required.

Who you are

Demonstrable background in Risk Management and Control Design (to mitigate the risk of cost and/or revenue leakage). Experience of Business Partnering and working on projects as part of a cross functional team. Proficiency in the utilisation of the MS Office suite, particularly Excel and Access.  Working knowledge of SQL/UNIX. Excellent communication skills and intellectually curious, with an ability to navigate conflicting priorities when required.  Background or qualifications relating to Finance, Data Analytics and/or Audit beneficial but not essential.
