G MASS Consulting are partnered with a leading global Hedge Fund to source a hands-on Business Analyst and Regulatory Change specialist. The firm requires a practitioner to take primary ownership of both the regulatory obligation and the end-to-end change programme.
Candidates with a purely advisory or consultative profile — without a demonstrable track record of personally driving delivery — will not be considered.
Regulatory Obligation Ownership
- Maintain comprehensive knowledge of assigned regulation(s), including field-level detail, eligibility logic, and horizon scanning for upcoming rule changes
- Act as single point of contact for regulatory enquiries, working closely with Compliance, counterparties, and trade repositories
- Daily oversight of reporting metrics, exception management, and proactive BAU risk identification
- Own end-to-end traceability from regulation through to technical implementation
Regulatory Reporting Change Management
- Interpret and apply applicable obligations (CFTC Parts 43/45, OFR, EBS, CAT, or equivalent) to the firm's data model and reporting architecture
- Develop functional and technical specifications; produce and manage requirements in JIRA
- Own UAT end-to-end including test case generation, execution, and defect management
- Design post-implementation control frameworks covering reconciliations, exception management, and BAU oversight
- Maintain granular delivery plans with clear accountability and proactively flag risks before they escalate
Requirements
- Hands-on experience across US regulatory reporting — CFTC Parts 43/45, OFR, EBS, CAT or comparable; breadth across multiple regimes a strong advantage
- Deep knowledge of reporting flows, lifecycle event handling, and trade repository mechanics (e.g. DTCC DDR or equivalent SDR)
- Strong grasp of data lineage, reconciliation design, and operational control frameworks
- Ability to produce detailed requirements documentation and see them through to tested, implemented outcomes
- Self-starter; able to work autonomously, manage cross-functional stakeholders, and deliver with minimal direction
- Excellent written and verbal communication; capable of presenting to senior stakeholders without jargon or vagueness
Benefits
Salary: to be discussed
Length: 12-month contract, with potential extension.
5 days a week in the office.
Skills Required
- 5+ years experience in CFTC Part 43/45 swap data reporting
- Proven business analysis skills: requirements writing, acceptance criteria, structured documentation, delivery tracking
- Deep knowledge of SDR reporting flows and lifecycle event handling
- Familiarity with DTCC DDR (preferred)
- Hands-on experience partnering with Engineering on regulatory reporting implementations
- Strong understanding of data lineage, reconciliations, and control frameworks
- Experience with BigQuery or equivalent data querying tools for validation and testing
- Ability to manage and communicate milestone-driven delivery plans to senior stakeholders
- Strong documentation and stakeholder management skills
