• Governance of Reporting Attributes: Take ownership for ensuring the completeness, accuracy, and regulatory compliance of transaction and order-level attributes required for reporting (such as algo flags, Tag 50s, and other industry-standard identifiers). Establish and maintain effective governance and validation processes, perform regular reviews and audits, and work with internal and external stakeholders to resolve data quality or reporting issues.

• Automation, Technology Liaison & MI Production: Collaborate effectively with technology teams to identify requirements and support the delivery of automated solutions for regulatory reporting and reconciliation. Drive the production of high-quality management information (MI), supporting senior management, compliance, and regulatory needs.
• Broader Reporting Scope & Change: Support, as required, reporting under additional regimes (such as commodity position limits, Dodd‑Frank, SEC 13F/13H, etc.), participate in regulatory change projects, and keep abreast of and prepare for evolving regulatory requirements and new reporting obligations.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as SME for key reporting regimes; provide advice and training across the business; support senior leadership, audit, and regulatory inquiries as required.
