Job description

We’re partnering with a Regulatory Reporting Consultancy, as it builds out the transformation and implementation expertise behind its client projects.

This is a client-facing role. You will be deployed into institutional clients - typically banks and financial institutions - to implement technology: establishing their existing reporting obligations, understanding what they currently report and from where, and mapping that landscape onto the specification.

The work is transformation-led. Clients typically arrive with their data spread across a number of separate systems, and the first task is to make sense of that estate: tracing where each reportable attribute originates, identifying what is missing, and building the mapping that allows the client to meet its EMIR and MiFIR obligations. The role combines hands-on business analysis with project management, so you will be in the detail of the data while also driving the engagement forward.

Engagements typically run for several months and frequently longer. Candidates based anywhere in Europe will be considered, provided they work within a European time zone. The first engagement is expected to begin early in the new year.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the business analyst and project lead on implementation engagements, working alongside client teams.
• Establish and document each client’s reporting obligations and current reporting arrangements across EMIR and MiFIR.
• Analyse client data across multiple source systems, tracing where each reportable attribute originates and how it flows.
• Map the client’s data landscape to the reporting specification, identifying gaps, ambiguities, and attributes that require sourcing elsewhere.
• Translate regulatory requirements into practical data requirements, drawing on an understanding of how the industry operationalises EMIR and MiFIR obligations.
• Plan and drive the engagement, tracking progress, managing dependencies, and keeping delivery to schedule.
• Identify where client data quality or availability would affect accurate reporting, and define what is needed to close those gaps.
• Lead working sessions with client stakeholders across operations, technology, and compliance to resolve mapping questions and interpretive issues.
• Produce clear mapping documentation, business requirements, and supporting analysis for both client and internal use.
• Support testing and validation of reporting outputs ahead of client go-live.
• Help shape the direction of the analysis, with scope to lead or co-lead the engagement.

• Hands-on business analysis experience within regulatory reporting, gained within financial services or with a platform or vendor serving the sector.
• Strong working knowledge of EMIR and MiFIR reporting - the data each regime requires, and how firms operationalise those obligations in practice.
• Demonstrable data mapping expertise: tracing reportable attributes across source systems and mapping them to a target specification.
• Experience of large, complex system implementations or migrations - order management, trading, risk, or similar enterprise platforms, including implementations beyond regulatory reporting.
• A combination of business analysis and project management capability, comfortable in the detail of the data while keeping an engagement moving to schedule.
• Strong data analysis capability, with the ability to make sense of a fragmented data estate and evidence conclusions clearly.
• A confident client-facing manner, with the credibility to work alongside senior stakeholders at an institutional client.
• Broader European regulatory reporting exposure is an advantage.
• Based within a European time zone, with fluent written and spoken English.
