• Collaborate with the Client Reporting team on APRA-related investment reporting supplied to Australian clients and data repositories, including asset allocation, investment governance, country exposure and counterparty credit risk reporting.
• Act as a subject matter expert for new funds, mandates, products, custodians, administrators and service providers, defining data and reporting requirements, establishing controlled data flows, completing testing and confirming operational readiness before go-live.
• Represent Investment Data Operations and Australian Regulatory Reporting in the global investment and middle office re-platforming program, contributing to target-state design, implementation, data migration, testing, parallel run, implementation and post-go-live stabilisation.
• Monitor relevant industry and regulatory developments, assess operational and data impacts, translate change into practical requirements and communicate emerging obligations, risks and priorities to stakeholders.
• Partner with Operations, Investments, Compliance, Legal, Product, Technology, clients and external providers, providing clear guidance, challenging constructively and escalating issues appropriately.
• Maintain robust policies, procedures, data lineage, control evidence and audit-ready documentation, and contribute to automation, process improvement and operational resilience.
• Provide clear reporting to senior stakeholders on obligations, data quality, incidents, remediation, project status, capacity and emerging developments.
• Your role may require interaction with JHI offices, employees and third parties in different time zones, including the UK, USA and Asia, occasionally outside core business hours.
• Carry out other duties as assigned.
