- Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, methodology development, and teaming up with senior SMEs.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related discipline.
- 3+ years of experience in regulatory reporting within banking, broker-dealer, or financial services — ideally in a business analyst, consulting, or reporting operations capacity.
- Strong business foundation with a solid understanding of financial products, balance sheet composition, and accounting concepts.
- Technology-literate: comfortable working with large datasets, reading SQL, understanding data models, and collaborating with technical teams (deep coding expertise not required).
- Excellent client-facing, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Proven ability to interpret regulatory instructions and translate them into practical reporting solutions.
