Our client would really love someone that naturally comfortable to give new things a go but will ask questions and challenge existing processes. Similarly they'd probably prefer a candidate used to (is working in) a smaller business with the breadth of challenges and responsibilties this brings. They want someone that will challenge the current processes and be able to make changes, as opposed to following a process/script that has been done before. There is a decent volume of transactions however the volume is only going to continue to grow. Attention to detail wise they need somebody that can follow a coding sheet and be able to take a step back and pick up when something doesn't look right.
