You will validate regulatory calculations, business rules, data transformations, and reporting outputs against standards like Basel, PRA, EBA, and internal requirements. Executing source-to-target mapping (STM) validation and data lineage testing across upstream systems, data warehouses, and reporting platforms is crucial.

Furthermore, you will conduct data reconciliations between source systems, calculation engines, and regulatory reports, investigating and resolving any variances. Collaboration with Business, Risk, Finance, Regulatory Reporting, and Technology teams will be essential for test execution and issue resolution. You will manage the defect lifecycle, from logging and root cause analysis to prioritization and closure. Supporting regulatory change implementations through impact assessments, test planning, and release readiness activities is also a key responsibility.

Essential skills include strong experience in Regulatory Reporting Testing, covering Capital, Liquidity, Credit Risk, RWA, COREP, FINREP, and Pillar 3 reporting. You should have a proven ability to design and execute SIT, UAT, Functional, Validation, and Regression Testing for complex regulatory reporting solutions.

Experience in managing defects, coordinating business testing, and supporting production releases is also required. Desirable experience encompasses exposure to Basel III/Basel 3.1, PRA, EBA, and Regulatory Change programmes. Familiarity with platforms like Axiom, Moody's, QRM, Oracle, SQL, ETL, and other Regulatory Reporting platforms is beneficial.

Furthermore, a strong knowledge of Data Quality, Data Lineage, Source-to-Target Mapping (STM), Reconciliations, and Reporting Controls is preferred. Experience supporting large-scale regulatory reporting transformation and system migration programmes would be advantageous.
