Senior Consultant, Trade & Transaction Reporting, Financial Stability

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Senior Consultant, Trade & Transaction Reporting, Wealth & Asset Management

Our UK Consulting capability helps our Financial Services clients in Capital Markets, Wealth, Asset Management, Private Banking and Market Infrastructure to deliver complex business and regulatory transformation, enabled by technology.

The opportunity

You'll have the opportunity to work on business-critical engagements. In recent years we have helped investment banks to get ready for Brexit, improve their compliance with regulations such as MiFID II, FinFrag, EMIR, SFTR, ASIC, MAS, HKMA, CFTC, SMMD and MMSR.

We also help clients to become more profitable, either by developing new revenue streams or by reducing costs.

While we predominantly serve the UK market, our clients are global, and we collaborate extensively with our fellow capital markets teams in EMEIA, the US and APAC.

We come at transformation problems in the following ways with respect to risk and technology:

1. We are highly skilled at delivering and overseeing large scale risk and technology change - from inception and requirements definition through to operational readiness. We prefer an agile methodology but are happy to work in whatever ways our clients demand.
2. We are increasingly bringing risk and technology assets to clients to help accelerate transformation. Examples of these include our best-in-class trade reporting analytics suite, EY TRADA that includes Gen AI componentry.
3. We deploy team members from on-shore, near-shore and off-shore teams, and often work alongside our major alliance partners to deploy solutions. Increasingly we collaborate with FinTech firms too.
4. We are passionate about keeping pace with the latest emerging technology. We have recently invested in expertise in Cloud, Digital, Intelligent Automation and AI. But we aren't interested in technology for the sake of technology - we combine the tech mindset with EY's deep business and regulatory knowledge in order to deploy technology intelligently to solve business problems.

We are looking for Senior Consultants to join our team due to growth.
