About the organisation:
Our client is an independent regulatory body in the UK responsible for ensuring the financial markets work well for the consumers and the economy, promoting market integrity and effective competition.
About the role:
We are seeking temporary resource to support a structured data remediation exercise. The role will focus on reviewing records, identifying duplicates and proposing “master records”, mapping linked records and preparing mapping decisions, compiling upload sheets and documenting evidence-based recommendations for later system update by the permanent team.
Responsibilities:
- Reviewing and remediating records in line with agreed priorities
- Identifying, validating or documenting relationships, duplicates, master records or other record attributes
- Preparing, checking or maintaining mapping outputs, upload templates, logs or supporting analysis
- Providing wider support to associated data, evidence-gathering, quality assurance or remediation work as required
What we’re looking for:
A disclosure paralegal or trainee accountant would suit this position well.
Minimum:
- Strong Excel capability, including filtering, sorting, reconciliation, exception logging and maintenance of structured upload sheets
- Experience maintaining a clear audit trail of decisions, exceptions and unresolved items
- Ability to follow written rules precisely and escalate ambiguous cases rather than guess
- Track record of exercising judgement within areas of delegated authority
- Strong written communication and a careful, evidence-based working style
Essential:
- Experience using external reference sources (such as Google, GLEIF) to validate organisation details and hierarchies
- Experience in data remediation, data cleansing, master data review, migration support or similar record-by-record review work
- Previous work in legal, finance, compliance, records management or other highly detail-oriented environments
- Experience with duplicate detection, master-record selection and mapping output preparation
Desirable:
- Ability to compare records across multiple sources and identify likely matches, duplicates, or relationships
- Experience or knowledge of the UK or major international securities regulatory regime is helpful but not essential
