The Senior Data Reporting Analyst owns the provision of trusted, accurate and timely reporting, partnering directly with business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver robust solutions. The role both produces and submits reporting/regulatory returns, helping to automate production to enable business self-serve wherever possible.
Working to fixed regulatory cycles and deadlines, the role spans regulatory and operational reporting, applying an accuracy-first mindset to every output. As a senior member of the team, you will also act as a role model and mentor to other team members, championing reporting standards, reusability and continuous improvement.

- Work closely with business stakeholders to produce and submit accurate, timely and auditable regulatory and operational reporting, meeting internal standards and external regulatory requirements to fixed reporting cycles and deadlines.
- Automate manual and legacy reporting processes, embedding validation, reconciliation and automated checks to ensure trusted outputs. Enhance existing automated reporting solutions.
- Engage directly with business stakeholders across the business to understand and document new regulatory reporting requirements, and translate them into clear specifications.
- Visualise, plan and execute the end-to-end delivery of large reporting work items, seeking clarification of ambiguous specifications and consistently delivering complex work in line with development standards. Look beyond the immediate scope of work items to ensure alignment with the wider solution and data design, proactively flagging the risk of technical debt.
- Maintain documentation, data lineage and audit trails for regulated outputs, and support audit and regulatory queries with supporting evidence.
- Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across delivery and business teams; proactively manage expectations, communicate trade-offs and constraints, and influence decisions with evidence and risk-based recommendations, navigating disagreement constructively and escalating appropriately.
- Explain complex topics in an easy-to-understand manner for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Break complex work into deliverable increments, produce realistic estimates, and highlight dependencies and risks early. Drive clarity on scope, acceptance criteria and non-functional requirements such as performance, resilience and security.
- Balance delivery momentum with quality, and demonstrate resilience when requirements change, operating effectively in uncertain or evolving environments.
- Manage own task list and priorities, working confidently both within agile development squads and as a self-starter.
