• Deliver accurate and timely COREP, FINREP and Bank of England regulatory returns, covering liquidity, credit risk, asset encumbrance, leverage, large exposures, LCR, NSFR and ALMM
• Maintain a robust regulatory reporting control environment, strengthening reconciliations, sign-off procedures, documentation, control testing and remediation
• Drive efficiencies and automation across regulatory reporting, including integrating new returns and enhancing third-party reporting solutions
• Improve regulatory data quality and governance, working with stakeholders to enhance data completeness, accuracy and reporting capability
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of PRA, Basel and wider regulatory requirements, assessing reporting impacts and supporting the management and escalation of regulatory reporting risks

• Support internal and external audits, preparing appropriate evidence and responding to queries, while sharing knowledge and supporting the development of junior colleagues.

What you will need:

• Demonstratable experience in a regulatory reporting role within financial services, with hands-on experience producing FINREP, COREP and Liquidity returns
• Excellent knowledge of the UK regulatory landscape and the requirements governing regulatory reporting
• Strong analytical and reconciliation skills, with the ability to interpret regulatory reports, identify movements and clearly explain findings to senior management
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to deliver accurate regulatory returns to strict reporting deadlines
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across Finance, wider teams and with regulators
• Proven people management skills, with experience leading and developing direct reports while contributing effectively as part of a Finance team
• Professionally qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent
• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders

Our promise to you...

• We will make sure that you are well-rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts!
• We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that 'normal' office hours aren't always doable, and while we can't accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren't sure if you are 100% there yet... why not give it a whirl? Good luck!
