• Assisting the Pricing Manager in reviewing historical cost assumptions and actuals against the portfolio, including routine reconciliation work to make sure inputs remain correct

• Providing the Pricing Manager with regular updates on tender volumes, data amendments and model changes

• Proposing fresh ideas to improve accuracy and efficiency with pricing and tendering processes, seeking continuous improvement
