Job description

Senior Business Analyst – Axiom Regulatory Reporting

About The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to join our Axiom Regulatory Reporting practice. In this client-facing role, you will partner directly with financial institutions to design, implement, and optimize regulatory reporting solutions on the Axiom platform. You will serve as a trusted advisor, guiding clients through complex data and reporting requirements while ensuring alignment with U.S. regulatory expectations and industry best practices.

This is an ideal opportunity for a regulatory reporting professional who thrives at the intersection of business, data, and technology, and who enjoys solving complex problems for sophisticated banking and broker-dealer clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with clients to gather, analyze, and document data and reporting requirements for regulatory submissions.
• Translate complex regulatory rules into clear functional specifications and configuration approaches within the Axiom platform.
• Advise clients on industry best practices, implementation strategies, and process improvements across their regulatory reporting operations.
• Provide subject matter expertise on U.S. regulatory frameworks, interpreting rules and guidance from the Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC, SEC, and FINRA.
• Perform data analysis, source-to-target mapping, reconciliation, and variance analysis to ensure reporting accuracy and completeness.
• Support user acceptance testing, production parallel runs, and go-live activities.
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, methodology development, and teaming up with senior SMEs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in regulatory reporting within banking, broker-dealer, or financial services — ideally in a business analyst, consulting, or reporting operations capacity.
• Strong business foundation with a solid understanding of financial products, balance sheet composition, and accounting concepts.
• Technology-literate: comfortable working with large datasets, reading SQL, understanding data models, and collaborating with technical teams (deep coding expertise not required).
• Excellent client-facing, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven ability to interpret regulatory instructions and translate them into practical reporting solutions.

Regulatory Experience (One or More Required; Multiple Preferred)

Hands-on experience with one or more of the following U.S. regulatory reporting areas:

• Regulatory Capital (Basel III / Basel 3EG, RWA calculations, FFIEC 101)
• U.S. Liquidity Reporting (LCR, NSFR, FR 2052a)
• Broker-Dealer Reporting and Calculations (Net Capital / Rule 15c3-1, Customer Reserve / Rule 15c3-3, FOCUS reports)
• Bank Holding Company and Call Reports — FR Y-9C, FFIEC 031/041, and related schedules
• CCAR / DFAST stress testing and related submissions (FR Y-14A/Q/M)

This position will be located in Toronto and offers the opportunity for a hybrid work environment at least 3 days a week in-office, subject to change, providing flexibility and accessibility for qualified candidates.
