The role of BOP spans project development (working with Government and others to design and launch the service), project management (coordinating the delivery phase, managing performance, and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (funding the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments).

· Working with the Investment Lead and colleagues in Finance, to ensure invoices for outcomes achieved by participants within programmes are processed.

· Engaging with other analysts across BOP to share learnings from your own project and implement learnings from other projects in your own.

· Data and Analytical Skills: You are good with numerical data and analysis and are able to accurately assimilate information and develop critical insights to inform decisions.

· Autonomy: You take ownership of your tasks and can plan and manage your own time to achieve them.

· Relationship Building and Teamwork: You can build credible and trusting relationships both internally and externally.

· Attention to Detail: You are detail focussed and you ensure the work you produce is accurate and of a high quality.
