Summary:
Our client is seeking a highly technical contractor to join the Market & Counterparty Regulatory Reporting team, supporting the delivery of accurate, timely, and regulator-aligned reporting (e.g., FR Y‑14Q, CCAR).
This role sits at the intersection of risk subject matter expertise and technology delivery, with a primary mandate to:
- Learn and deconstruct current reporting and stress processes
- Identify inefficiencies and manual dependencies

- Document current-state processes, controls, and data dependencies
- Identify:
- Manual touchpoints
- Reconciliation gaps
- Data lineage issues
- Opportunities for standardization
- Automation & Solution Design
- Develop future-state automation proposals aligned with enterprise technology strategy
- Translate business processes into scalable technical designs, including:
- Data pipelines
- Aggregation logic
- Reporting layers
- Evaluate modernization opportunities such as:
- Migration of legacy SQL-based processes to modern application frameworks (e.g., Java-based ETL)
- Consolidation of fragmented reporting workflows into structured infrastructure
- Ensure solutions:
- Meet regulatory accuracy and auditability requirements
- Improve performance, scalability, and control environments
- Requirements & Delivery Management
- Capture detailed business and technical requirements in Jira, including:
- Epics, features, and user stories
- Acceptance criteria aligned with regulatory and data validation standards
- Partner with technology developers to:
- Refine backlog items
- Ensure correct interpretation of requirements
- Support testing and validation
- Drive end-to-end delivery lifecycle:
- Design → Build → Test → Production deployment
- Data & Technology Engineering Oversight
- Analyze and work within complex reporting data environments involving:
- Large-scale relational datasets
- Risk aggregation frameworks
- Regulatory reporting tables
- Ensure robustness across:
- Data integrity and reconciliation
- Transformation logic
- Performance optimization
- Reporting & Visualization Enablement
- Incorporate modern visualization and analytics tools where appropriate:
- Power BI and Tableau for reporting and insights delivery
- Leverage these tools to:
- Reduce manual report generation
- Enable self-service analytics for stakeholders
- Improve transparency into risk metrics and reporting outputs
- Emerging Technology & AI Adoption
- Evaluate and recommend use of emerging technologies, including:
- AI/GenAI copilots for documentation, reconciliation, or anomaly detection
- Advanced analytics platforms (e.g., Fabric-like ecosystems, semantic layers)
- Ensure new technologies:
- Align with enterprise governance and risk standards
- Provide measurable efficiency or control improvements
Required Qualifications:
Technical Expertise
- Advanced proficiency in:
- SQL (complex queries, stored procedures, performance optimization)
- Java (enterprise applications, batch processing frameworks such as Spring Boot / Spring Batch preferred)
- Strong understanding of:
- Data architecture and infrastructure design
- ETL and data pipeline development
- Distributed / scalable processing frameworks
Regulatory & Domain Experience (Direct Banking Experience is a “Nice to Have” – not completely essential, but if not, the technical expertise needs to be “off the charts”)
- Experience working in:
- Market Risk or Counterparty Risk environments
- Regulatory reporting (e.g., FR Y‑14Q, CCAR, Basel) preferred
- Familiarity with:
- Stress testing processes
- Risk aggregation and reporting controls
