Regulatory Reporting Manager in Belfast

We’re a leading Investor Services group offering end-to-end services in administration, accounting, reporting, regulatory and compliance needs of the investment sector worldwide. We employ a global workforce of 6,500+ people across 24 jurisdictions and have assets under administration (AUA) exceeding US$857 billion. We work with 13 of the world’s top-15 private equity firms.

The Regulatory Reporting Manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery, control and continuous improvement of regulatory reporting services, with a primary focus on Annex IV reporting and associated regulatory reporting deliverables across the client base. Based in the UK, this role will act as a key operational oversight and delivery control role within the centralised Regulatory Reporting team. The majority of production activity is performed by colleagues in IQ-EQ’s Global Centre of Delivery (GCD) locations, with the role working closely alongside the UK-based Annex IV Reporting Specialist and reporting to the Associate Director, Regulatory Reporting. This is not a direct line management role.

The role will have a dotted-line / functional relationship with client relationship roles based in India and will work closely with CRM, client-facing teams and wider Regulatory Reporting teams to coordinate production, manage priorities, support issue resolution, monitor delivery progress and maintain consistent service standards for clients. The role combines technical oversight, workflow control, stakeholder management, delivery governance, issue escalation, quality ownership and continuous improvement. The Regulatory Reporting Manager will support a scalable, technology-enabled reporting model and help enhance standardisation, controls, client service and delivery effectiveness.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of Annex IV and other regulatory reporting, ensuring accurate, timely, compliant, and audit-ready submissions across the client base.
• Oversee reporting operations, workflows, quality controls, approvals, filings, exception management, and evidence retention while acting as the primary escalation point for complex reporting issues, data exceptions, filing risks, and client queries.
• Provide functional leadership and technical expertise to Regulatory Reporting teams, driving high-quality standards, knowledge sharing, process improvements, capacity planning, and consistent delivery across global locations.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders—including Client Services, Depositary, Compliance, Risk, Technology, AIFM, and delivery teams—to resolve issues, manage dependencies, support onboarding, and develop effective reporting operating models and controls.
• Drive continuous improvement and business growth by identifying automation opportunities, enhancing controls and documentation, supporting new business initiatives, providing subject matter expertise, and delivering management reporting, insights, and risk updates to senior stakeholders.
