As a Compliance Assurance – Trade, Transactions and Position Reporting AVP you will provide independent second-line review of how the firm meets its regulatory obligations. This role is the function's specialist in regulatory reporting, covering trade and transaction reporting as its core, together with major holdings, short selling and position reporting. It delivers data-led reviews across the Investment Bank and extends that technical testing capability into COO and infrastructure control areas.

You will be hands-on and comfortable working with data rather than relying solely on walkthroughs and interviews. The role is designed for someone who has worked close enough to reporting to know where it breaks, and who can now bring that knowledge to independent challenge.

To be successful as a Compliance Assurance AVP, you must have the following essential skills:

  • Proven experience in financial services, including hands-on in trade or transaction reporting.
  • Detailed working knowledge of UK MiFIR transaction reporting at field level, with working knowledge of UK EMIR (post-Refit) and awareness of SFTR.
  • Working knowledge of major holdings disclosure and short selling reporting, including the aggregation and disaggregation principles, instrument scope and threshold logic that drive notification obligations.
  • Demonstrable independent review, testing or control assessment work, whether in assurance, internal audit, first-line quality assurance or consulting. Production reporting experience alone is not sufficient.
  • Practical experience of reporting controls: reconciliations, exception management, identification of errors and omissions, and remediation or back-reporting.
  • Proficient in SQL and comfortable interrogating large datasets to build full-population tests.

Some other highly valued skills may include:

  • Sound understanding of the trade lifecycle and booking models across asset classes, and of where reporting errors typically originate.
  • Python or equivalent analytics tooling.
  • Hands-on experience of a shareholding disclosure rules engine or position aggregation platform.
  • Knowledge of takeover disclosure requirements or sector-specific ownership limits.
  • Strong written communication, with the ability to explain technical findings to non-specialist senior audiences.

Location: Glasgow

You may be assessed on key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.
