Qualifications

• Mid-to-senior business analyst experience in capital markets with regulatory reporting expertise.
• Deep SFTR expertise, including scope validation, field mapping, back-reporting, and data remediation.
• Front or middle office experience in securities finance to discuss clients' product sets and reporting obligations.
• Experience remediating issues from audits and regulator notifications.

Responsibilities

• Act as the SFTR subject matter expert on client engagements, providing hands-on business analysis support to institutions resolving SFTR reporting issues.
• Scope and size issues identified through internal or external audit - establishing how many trades and which fields are affected, and the true extent of the exposure.
• Lead back-reporting exercises, correcting and resubmitting historic misreported or unreported transactions.
• Support clients in preparing for regulator notification and in responding to regulatory enquiries arising from reporting failures.
• Engage clients directly on the securities finance products they trade, translating those products into clear reporting obligations.
• Validate reporting scope and requirements against ESMA guidance, assessed specifically against each client's investable universe.
• Analyse client source system datasets, including BRS Aladdin, to determine which attributes will service their SFTR reporting requirements.
• Map client data artefacts to the platform's SFTR specification, identifying gaps, ambiguities, and fields requiring attention.
• Lead working sessions with key client stakeholders to resolve specific data gaps and interpretive questions, providing expertise directly in the room.
• Prioritise the fields and data elements requiring attention in conjunction with the client, and document the resulting analysis and recommendations.
• Produce Business Requirements Documents and test scripts built around each client's business scenarios.
• Provide documented subject matter expertise on specific concerns raised over the course of an engagement, and prepare clear, high-level summaries of engagement activity and outcomes for client distribution.
