You will monitor payment files, manage reconciliations, and collaborate closely with both internal and external stakeholders to resolve payment-related inquiries. The role plays a crucial part in ensuring a seamless customer journey, reducing operational risks, and driving continuous improvements within the payments function.

As a Student Co-worker, you are expected to work on average a minimum of 12 hours per week as well as support with month-end closing during the first and second bank days of the month.
