• Take the lead in operating the Oracle applications, ensuring the appropriate controls and governance are in place. Collect (or personally identify), assess and implement functionality improvements and configuration changes to our systems to support a more efficient and easily maintainable reporting process.
• Provide a great level of service to the ESG reporting team, understanding in detail their reporting needs and being the go-to person for all system-related activities
