Job Title: Associate

Department: Asset Management – Investment Operations

About Business line/Function: Reporting Production Analyst

Position Purpose:

The Reporting Production Analyst is responsible for the day-to-day execution of regulatory transaction reporting obligations across EMIR Refit, SFTR, MiFID II covering both EU and UK jurisdictions, and ASIC Rewrite. The role sits at the heart of the first line of defense for regulatory reporting, ensuring that all reportable transactions are submitted accurately, completely and on time to the relevant Trade Repositories and Approved Reporting Mechanisms across jurisdictions.

Reporting to the Regulatory Transaction Reporting team, the Production Analyst works as part of a team with interchangeable resources, each expected to operate across all four regulatory regimes and across both EU and UK jurisdictions where applicable.

For EMIR and ASIC, which are delegated, the Analyst is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of the production performed by the service provider, ensuring reporting obligations are met.
