EMIR / MiFIR Transformation Business Analyst

Length: Initial 12-month contract

We're partnering with a Regulatory Reporting Consultancy, as it builds out the transformation and implementation expertise behind its client projects.

This is a client-facing role. You will be deployed into institutional clients - typically banks and financial institutions - to implement technology: establishing their existing reporting obligations, understanding what they currently report and from where, and mapping that landscape onto the specification.

The work is transformation-led. Clients typically arrive with their data spread across a number of separate systems, and the first task is to make sense of that estate: tracing where each reportable attribute originates, identifying what is missing, and building the mapping that allows the client to meet its EMIR and MiFIR obligations. The role combines hands-on business analysis with project management, so you will be in the detail of the data while also driving the engagement forward.

• Act as the business analyst and project lead on implementation engagements, working alongside client teams.
• Establish and document each client's reporting obligations and current reporting arrangements across EMIR and MiFIR.
• Analyse client data across multiple source systems, tracing where each reportable attribute originates and how it flows.
• Map the client's data landscape to the reporting specification, identifying gaps, ambiguities, and attributes that require sourcing elsewhere.
• Translate regulatory requirements into practical data requirements, drawing on an understanding of how the industry operationalises EMIR and MiFIR obligations.
• Plan and drive the engagement, tracking progress, managing dependencies, and keeping delivery to schedule.
• Identify where client data quality or availability would affect accurate reporting, and define what is needed to close those gaps.
• Lead working sessions with client stakeholders across operations, technology, and compliance to resolve mapping questions and interpretive issues.
• Produce clear mapping documentation, business requirements, and supporting analysis for both client and internal use.
• Support testing and validation of reporting outputs ahead of client go-live.
• Help shape the direction of the analysis, with scope to lead or co-lead the engagement.

Engagements typically run for several months and frequently longer. Candidates based anywhere in Europe will be considered, provided they work within a European time zone. The first engagement is expected to begin early in the new year.

• Hands-on business analysis experience within regulatory reporting, gained within financial services or with a platform or vendor serving the sector.
• Strong working knowledge of EMIR and MiFIR reporting - the data each regime requires, and how firms operationalise those obligations in practice.
• Demonstrable data mapping expertise: tracing reportable attributes across source systems and mapping them to a target specification.
• Experience of large, complex system implementations or migrations - order management, trading, risk, or similar enterprise platforms, including implementations beyond regulatory reporting.
• A combination of business analysis and project management capability, comfortable in the detail of the data while keeping an engagement moving to schedule.
• Strong data analysis capability, with the ability to make sense of a fragmented data estate and evidence conclusions clearly.
• A confident client-facing manner, with the credibility to work alongside senior stakeholders at an institutional client.
• Broader European regulatory reporting exposure is an advantage.
• Based within a European time zone, with fluent written and spoken English.
