Our client, a top-tier Management and Strategy consulting firm, is actively seeking a Swap Dealer Portfolio Reporting Specialist to join their team. Within Global Markets Operations, the SDR Reporting Specialist plays a critical role in ensuring that Client’s Swap Data Repository (SDR) submissions comply with all relevant  regulatory (CFTC, Canada, EMiR, FCA) reporting requirements. The role requires the Specialist to collaborate with various internal stakeholders, including Technology, Compliance, Trading, Legal and Operations teams at various levels across the bank to ensure timely and accurate resolution of any discrepancies. The candidate should demonstrate in-depth knowledge of foreign exchange, interest rate, and commodity over-the-counter derivative products.

The Specialist will be responsible for overseeing the submission, monitoring, and validation process for reporting Client’s swaps activity, including both Part 43 Real Time Reporting and Part 45 Swap Data Reporting, to ensure all trade information is reported accurately, completely, and in a timely manner. The candidate will be expected to execute processes for the identification and correction of SDR errors and omissions, investigate any rejected submissions, and prioritize and categorize reporting issues as they may arise. The Specialist is also responsible for driving any regulatory reporting changes arising out of CFTC or DTCC requirements, in conjunction with relevant stakeholders. The candidate is ideally proficient in using transaction reporting systems such as S&P Global’s Cappitech, or have experience with proprietary reporting systems, trading system workflows and data lineage exercises. This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.
