Job description

Role Overview

We are seeking a detailoriented Transaction Management Data Associate & Controls professional to support the firm’s global transaction management transformation. This role focuses on data analysis, reconciliation frameworks, and certification criteria used to validate transaction accuracy, lifecycle completeness, and migration readiness as trade processing workflows move from legacy to strategic platforms.

The analyst serves as a critical qualitycontrol checkpoint, ensuring transaction data is complete, accurate, and productionready before downstream consumers—including accounting, position management, performance, and risk—are migrated or reliant on new workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute endtoend reconciliation frameworks to compare transaction lifecycle data across legacy and target platforms, including trade capture, confirmation, and settlement states.
• Define and maintain certification criteria and acceptance thresholds to validate transaction completeness and accuracy across asset classes, regions, and booking entities.
• Perform detailed rootcause analysis on transaction breaks, mismatches, and lifecycle discrepancies, distinguishing among system behavior differences, control gaps, timing issues, and data quality failures.
• Develop and maintain controls, exception reporting, and monitoring dashboards to support continuous validation throughout migration and stabilization periods.
• Partner closely with the Transaction Management transformation lead, Technology, Accounting, and Operations teams to document and remediate upstream data and workflow issues.
• Support testing cycles (UAT, parallel runs, migration rehearsals) by validating transaction logic, lifecycle progression, and reconciliation outcomes.
• Prepare clear, evidencebased certification and signoff materials for senior stakeholders, audit teams, and migration governance forums.
• Monitor transactionrelated exceptions during test and migration phases, escalating material issues and driving resolution within defined SLAs.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in trade management, transaction processing, investment data reconciliation, or operational controls within asset management, investment banking, or prime brokerage environments.
• Strong analytical skills with handson experience performing transactionlevel reconciliations across multiple systems and asset classes.
• Solid understanding of trade lifecycle events, including allocations, confirmations, settlements, amendments, resets, novations, and FX impacts.
• Familiarity with migration certification, UAT methodologies, and parallel testing for trade or middleoffice platforms.
• Proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., Python, SQL, Excel) and experience developing exception reports or reconciliation dashboards.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce auditready documentation and clear certification summaries for senior stakeholders.
