- Maintain end to end traceability from Business requirements to functional specifications to Axiom logic to controls to report output.
- Lead business analysis for regulatory reporting delivered through Axiom, including data sourcing and ingestion requirements, rule logic, adjustments, and calculation frameworks, report structure, hierarchies, and metadata configuration.
- Define functional specifications for Axiom rules and mappings.
- Drive data consistency across Axiom implementations to reduce manual overlays and EUCs.
Agile Delivery Leadership- Serve as Lead BA / Product Owner/Manager for regulatory reporting initiatives:
- define epics, features, and user stories.
- write acceptance criteria aligned to regulatory and control expectations.
- prioritize backlog based on regulatory deadlines and risk.
- Drive Agile ceremonies and outcomes:
- sprint planning, refinement, demos, retrospectives.
- dependency and release management across Finance, Risk, and Technology.
- Balance Agile delivery with regulatory documentation and evidence requirements.
Required Skills & Experience- Deep understanding of IHC regulatory reporting frameworks, governance, and controls.
- Strong grasp of financial consolidation, legal entity reporting, and regulatory data dependencies.
- Hands‑on experience delivering regulatory reporting using a regulatory reporting platform including data ingestion and mapping, rule configuration and calculations, report production and validation.
- Requirements elicitation, documentation, and stakeholder facilitation.
- Process modeling, gap analysis, and control design.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills in data‑intensive environments.
- Executive‑level communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to influence across Finance, Risk, and Technology without direct authority.
The expected base salary ranges from $160k-$185k.
