Regulatory Reporting SME

We're partnering with a leading global hedge fund to enhance its US trade and transaction reporting framework. The firm has mature reporting processes and infrastructure in place and is seeking an experienced specialist to own one or more US reporting obligations and manage the associated change portfolio.

Candidates must bring deep subject-matter expertise and demonstrable end-to-end ownership experience in at least one of the following:

• Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) and Electronic Blue Sheets (EBS)
• CFTC swap data reporting
• OFR non-centrally cleared bilateral repo reporting

Genuine depth in a single obligation is sufficient, and broader regulatory reporting experience is welcome. Scope will be aligned to the successful candidate's expertise.

This is a hands-on role combining regulatory interpretation and BAU oversight with business analysis, data investigation, testing and continuous improvement. The role is based full-time in the firm's New York office.

Key Responsibilities

• Own one or more US reporting obligations end to end, maintaining detailed knowledge of scope, reportability, field-level requirements, data sourcing, enrichment logic, timelines and vendor mappings
• Act as the principal point of expertise on current implementation, BAU reporting and upcoming regulatory change
• Conduct horizon scanning and assess the impact of regulatory, technical and industry developments
• Maintain clear, auditable traceability from regulation through to requirements, data mappings, controls and technical implementation
• Oversee daily BAU metrics, identifying exceptions, rejects and breaks, and escalating where aged exceptions fall outside risk appetite
• Advise Regulatory Operations and coordinate responses to regulator enquiries in partnership with Compliance
• Respond to reporting queries from brokers, reporting agents, repositories, vendors and other counterparties
• Assess new products, instruments and business activities for US reporting impact
• Lead reporting change from impact assessment through requirements, Jira documentation, testing, UAT and post-production validation
• Analyse front-to-back data flows, performing root-cause analysis and partnering with Technology and Operations on sustainable fixes
• Manage reconciliations between internal books and records and external submissions
• Engage with external infrastructure including FINRA CAT, CAT Reporting Agents, Swap Data Repositories and the OFR Data Collection Utility
• Contribute to the target-state reporting roadmap, with a focus on control maturity, automation and exception reduction

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on ownership experience in at least one of CAT and EBS, CFTC swap data reporting (Parts 43 and 45) or OFR non-centrally cleared bilateral repo reporting
