Responsibilities:

• Reporting delivery : Prepare and review the end-to-end production of compliant Head-Office Consolidated Financials and ECB Regulatory Reporting.
• BI dashboard development : Build, maintain, and optimize Power BI dashboards and data visualizations to transform raw accounting data from core ledgers (e.g., Oracle PeopleSoft, SAP) into dynamic financial reports.
• Data-driven variance analysis : Perform deep-dive balance sheet, income statement, and off-balance sheet variance analysis, utilizing business intelligence tools to isolate data anomalies and explain financial movements.
• UAT & project testing : Actively participate in and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and validation protocols for reporting infrastructure projects, systems migrations, and automated dashboard rollouts.
• Process optimization : Streamline reporting workflows by reducing reliance on manual spreadsheets, designing clean data pipelines, and implementing automated validation checks.
• Financial data ownership : Take proactive ownership of the quality, reliability, and audit trail of financial reports, ensuring backend data mappings are clean and well-documented.
• Stakeholder liaison : Actively collaborate and liaise across multiple Finance teams, Risk, Treasury, Operations, Front Office, and internal/external auditors to resolve data dependencies.
• Strategic advisory : Translate complex variance analyses and dashboard insights into highly actionable recommendations for Senior Management and Business Heads.

Qualifications and Competencies

• Experience: 4+ years in financial reporting, regulatory reporting, or a combined banking accounting function with a strong portfolio of data visualization work.
• Regulatory & framework expertise : Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting concepts related to Wholesale Banking products.

• Data analysis & BI skills : Hands-on experience building and deploying interactive Power BI dashboards; familiarity with data modeling and mapping unstructured data into structured visualizations.
• Tech stack : High proficiency in the MS Office Suite; working knowledge of SQL or Python for backend data manipulation is a major plus alongside Power BI.
• AI & innovation mindset : An open, adaptable mindset toward leveraging generative AI assistants (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) to accelerate code writing, debug complex formulas, and automate routine documentation.
• Accountability : Demonstrates strict accountability and a proven ability to deliver high-quality, reliable outcomes.
• Problem-solving : Positive, proactive mindset with strong analytical skills and independent thinking capabilities to isolate data anomalies.
• Detail orientation : Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills to ensure a clean audit trail.
