Our mission is to enable everyone to build wealth. We reinvent how trading and investing work by creating exceptional products people love. Fostering a culture of excellence and high velocity is the key to our success. Today, we serve over 6 million clients, with more than €30 billion in assets under management - a testament to the scale and trust we’ve built in just a few years.
What you’ll do:
- Own and manage the daily transaction reporting cycle: exception management, accuracy checks, reconciliation breaks, and validation exception triage.
- Own MI recording, incident logging, data pulls, and incident form completion.
- Keep the domain lead informed on all incidents and escalations.
- Investigate and remediate breaks identified by monitoring controls and data quality assurance tools.
- Track every incident and validation failure from inception to closure - ensuring risk forms are submitted, the incident register is maintained, and a running log of items for committee reporting packs is kept.
- Collaboratively produce committee reporting packs and monthly SLAs, for sign-off by the domain lead.
- Prepare agendas, pre-reads, and minutes for governance meetings.
- Track action items to completion.
- Read and acknowledge FCA publications on the regulatory register, building a working understanding of upcoming changes.
- Awareness of ESMA and ASIC publications is a plus.
- Test and verify regulatory changes implemented by the domain lead, ensuring reporting outputs are correct against the relevant technical standards.
- Maintain transaction reporting procedures, traceability sheets, and audit-related documents.
- Conduct ongoing quality review of existing procedures - identifying gaps where operational practice has diverged from documented process.
- Identify operational process improvements and lead their delivery.
What you need to have:
- Essential:
- 1–2 years of experience in transaction reporting, with primary focus on MiFIR/MiFID II.
- Practical experience with daily exception management, reconciliation processes, and validation monitoring.
- Ability to investigate root causes of reporting breaks - understanding why an exception occurred, not just flagging it.
- Familiarity with the transaction reporting lifecycle.
- Strong attention to detail. Transaction reporting is a precision function - errors have direct regulatory consequences.
- Clear written communication for drafting incident narratives, meeting minutes, and committee pack content for senior stakeholders and board-level committees.
- Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and reporting tools.
- Desirable:
- Exposure to EMIR reporting (EMIR REFIT experience is a strong plus).
- Awareness of ASIC derivative or transaction reporting requirements.
- Experience with project management and documentation tools.
- Experience preparing governance packs or SLA reports in a regulated environment.
- Familiarity with Approved Reporting Mechanisms (ARMs) and NCA validation rules.
- Any scripting or automation skills (Python, SQL) for data investigation.
What we offer:
- Challenges that will help you grow and realise your potential really fast.
- Opportunity to make a big impact - you will build innovative services used by millions of investors to build wealth.
- Work with smart, spirited, helpful, high-performing colleagues with a common goal.
