About the role:

The Senior Reporting and Data Analyst will support the development, enhancement, and operational delivery of reporting solutions built on eFront Invest and related data platforms.

You will work closely with the Markets Technology team, Operational Support, Client‑facing teams, and integration specialists to ensure that reports, data pipelines, and downstream consumers receive timely and validated information. As the organisation expands its automated reporting and integration landscape, this role offers strong exposure to structured data flows (CSV/XML) and modern integration platforms.

  • Conduct data‑quality checks, reconciliations, and validation routines to ensure high‑quality outputs.
• Data Integrations & Structured Data Flows
  • Support data feeds between eFront Invest, data warehouses, and external systems.
  • Assist with troubleshooting data‑flow issues, including ETL schedule failures or transformation discrepancies.
  • Help monitor integration processes using tools such as MuleSoft, SSIS, or internal automation tooling.

• Operational Support & Issue Resolution
  • Investigate and resolve reporting errors, data inconsistencies, and workflow issues.
  • Perform initial analysis and escalate complex issues to senior team members when required.
  • Work within established SLAs to support reporting cycles and business stakeholders.
• Compliance, Governance & Continuous Improvement
  • Maintain clear documentation, test evidence, and change‑management records in line with audit and ISAE 3402 standards.
  • Support process‑improvement initiatives, including identifying opportunities for automation or enhanced data controls.
  • Assist with periodic review and housekeeping of reporting assets and documentation.
• Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
  • Work closely with financial reporting, fund accounting, and other technology teams to support reporting delivery.
  • Provide user support on day‑to‑day queries and contribute to knowledge‑base articles and training material.
  • Proactively flag recurring issues and suggest potential enhancements or process improvements.

Skills, knowledge & expertise:

• Required
  • 2–3 years’ experience in reporting, data analysis, financial systems support, structured data flow environments, or similar technical roles.
  • Hands‑on experience with SQL and exposure to SAS (or willingness to learn).
  • Strong Excel skills, particularly in data validation, analysis, and reconciliation.
  • Good communication skills, able to collaborate effectively with operational and technology teams.
  • Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to data quality and documentation.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Data/Computer Science, Finance or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Desirable
  • Experience with DevOps Boards and Agile delivery practices.
  • Familiarity with private‑markets platforms, ideally eFront Invest.
  • Exposure to GIT or other version‑control tools.
  • Understanding of fundamental fund structures or financial‑statement concepts.
  • Experience producing structured data outputs (CSV, XML).
  • Exposure to integration / ETL tools such as MuleSoft, SSIS, or Alteryx.
  • Aware of Agile development methodologies (Agile is the team’s strategic direction).

Career development & opportunity:
