Regulatory Reporting Business Analyst - EMIR & MAS - Selby Jennings - #2168396

A leading global quantitative investment manager is looking for an experienced Transaction Reporting Business Analyst to join its Regulatory Reporting team within Compliance.

Working closely with Compliance, Trading, Operations and Technology, you will support the firm's global transaction reporting obligations, with a primary focus on EMIR and MAS, alongside exposure to MiFIR, SFTR and other regulatory regimes.

This is not a BAU regulatory reporting operations role. The successful candidate must combine strong transaction-reporting knowledge with genuine Business Analysis and regulatory-change delivery experience, including the ability to proactively identify issues, determine their root cause and drive solutions through Technology.

The ideal candidate will be joining from a similar Hedge Fund, Investment Manager, Investment Bank and Prop Trading Firm.

• Produce BRDs, functional specifications, user stories, process flows, data mappings and UAT scripts.
• Work closely with Technology across design, development, testing, UAT and implementation.
• Assess reporting requirements for new products, markets and regulatory changes.
• Drive process improvement and automation across regulatory reporting workflows.

• 5+ years' Business Analyst experience within transaction or regulatory reporting.

• Strong data analysis capability using Excel, SQL, Power BI or similar.
• Self-directed, analytical and comfortable challenging stakeholders and recommending solutions.
