The posting

About the role

A leading UAE bank is undertaking a major transformation programme to fully automate its regulatory reporting landscape. We are looking for an experienced Functional Consultant to play a pivotal role in this initiative — translating regulatory requirements into bank-specific business logic, driving functional design, and ensuring a smooth transition from legacy/manual reporting to a modern, audit-ready automated solution.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys sitting at the intersection of Finance, Operations, and Technology, and who has a track record of leading regulatory reporting automation programmes end-to-end.

What you'll do

  • Act as the functional bridge between Regulatory Finance, Regulatory Operations, and IT delivery squads.
  • Document detailed business interpretations and data transformation logic for all in-scope regulatory reports.
  • Drive functional solutioning workshops and finalise functional specifications with technology partners.
  • Conduct impact assessments comparing automated outputs against current submissions; categorise variances as automation gains, legacy errors, data gaps, or functional defects.
  • Lead and obtain sign-off on User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including parallel-run validation against legacy reports.
  • Define tolerance thresholds and adjustment/override processes within the automated workflow.
  • Perform Root Cause Analysis on functional defects across source data, mapping logic, and code.
  • Author the Operational Runbook for Reg Ops — covering triggers, exception handling, reconciliations, and override protocols.
  • Support operationalisation, training, and the transition of Reg Ops from manual preparation to a "review and oversight" model.

Requirements

Experience

  • 8–10 years as a Functional Consultant in banking, across Regulatory Reporting, ALM/FTP, or other Finance and Risk domains.
  • 5–6 years specifically in Regulatory Reporting Automation, including hands-on experience as a Functional Lead on at least one such programme.
  • Proven delivery of regulatory reporting automation for CBUAE (preferred) or other major jurisdictions (e.g. KSA, Egypt, India, Singapore).

Subject matter expertise

  • Strong working knowledge of CBUAE SupTech and BRF regulatory guidelines and explanatory notes (or equivalent depth in another major regulator, with willingness to ramp up on CBUAE quickly).
  • Solid understanding of banking products and the functional data landscape across core banking systems.
  • Working knowledge of Finance General Ledger structures, Chart of Accounts, and financial reporting concepts.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead requirements and functional design workshops and document detailed business logic.
  • Experience designing cross-report validation rules and testing intra- and inter-form consistency.

Technical

  • SQL proficiency for independent functional data validation (strongly preferred).
  • Familiarity with one or more regulatory reporting platforms (e.g. Wolters Kluwer OneSumX, Adenza/AxiomSL, Moody's, Oracle OFSAA) is a plus.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA in Finance preferred.

Behavioural

  • Self-starter with strong ownership and delivery focus.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication across business and technology audiences.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and the ability to lead through ambiguity.
  • Collaborative team player with leadership presence in cross-functional settings.

Benefits

High-visibility role on a flagship transformation programme at a leading UAE bank.

Direct exposure to senior Finance and Technology leadership.

Opportunity to shape the regulatory reporting target operating model end-to-end.

Competitive package commensurate with experience.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
