• Map data elements to Axiom-required calculation inputs and document the business rules, derivations, assumptions, controls, and evidence required to support regulatory capital processing.
• Assist in the design, build, and testing of interim ERBA calculators using available UCL data and direct source-system data until strategic UCL feeds are available.
• Support testing of calculator outputs, reconciliation of data and results, fit-for-use analysis, issue identification, remediation tracking, and user acceptance testing using project accelerators and agreed testing approaches.
• Identify and document controls for new or modified data elements, including preventative and detective controls, data quality checks, lineage controls, reconciliation points, and governance documentation.
• Recommend interim and strategic BAU data capture, data management, and process enhancements to support ERBA, SCCL gross exposure measurements, regulatory reporting, management reporting, and future-state capital insights.
• Coordinate with exposure pods, technology teams, and business stakeholders to drive agile execution across discovery, assessment, design, build, testing, and refinement sprints.
