We're looking for a Regulatory Reporting Specialist to join our team and play a key role in ensuring regulatory reporting obligations are met accurately and on time. Reporting to the Team Lead, you'll leverage your strong SQL, coding and analytical capabilities to transform and validate data, enhance reporting processes, implement controls and support regulatory change initiatives. This is an opportunity to combine your technical expertise with strong stakeholder engagement skills in a role that directly supports the integrity, compliance and performance of the business.
