• Act as a bridge between Compliance, Operations, Technology, and external vendors, ensuring alignment and transparency in change initiatives.
• Support ongoing BAU activities, including exception handling, client queries, and regulatory submission reviews.
• Deliver clear and insightful MI to governance forums and senior stakeholders, ensuring visibility of issues, risks, and mitigation plans.

What We're Looking For

• Strong expertise in EMEA trade and transaction reporting frameworks, particularly SFTR and EMIR.
• Proven experience building and managing reconciliations using DUCO (or similar reconciliation platforms).
• Confidence in presenting complex issues to senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Ability to independently assess regulatory quality assurance reports and propose practical solutions.
• Analytical mindset, with a structured and proactive approach to risk reduction and process optimisation.
• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to work in fast-paced, regulatory-driven environments.
