Department Overview

Regulatory Reporting is a key component of the Finance Department, which has an excellent reputation within the bank and externally.  We pride ourselves on our professionalism within a Department with a culture that encourages dynamism and flexibility.

Senior management takes a hands-on approach within the department, and is keen to reward hard work, enthusiasm and success. A willingness to constantly question established processes, and strive for improvements is actively encouraged, leading to an ever changing and exciting environment. Nomura presents a unique opportunity to learn and gain experience of a broad range of products and business lines within a supportive setting and surrounded by skilled professionals.

The Reporting team is based onshore and offshore, the majority of daily reporting and a significant proportion of monthly/ quarterly reporting is performed by the Regulatory Reporting team based in Mumbai. The validation, review and submission of regulatory returns is managed onshore by the London team (team of three) with significant contribution from Mumbai.

Regulatory Reporting is currently going through a period of significant change (e.g. implementation of CRRII).  To help cope with these challenges there has been significant investment in the Regulatory Reporting Infrastructure with a global strategic project to deliver front to back enhancements nearing completion.

Role description:

The role is in the Liquidity Reporting team, which forms part of the Treasury department of Nomura's UK Finance Division. The successful candidate will take responsibility for running daily, weekly, monthly & quarterly processes and review responsibilities which underpin the external and internal Regulatory Reporting for the European consolidation group (including the main broker dealer, Nomura International plc). It will include working closely with colleagues in both London, Mumbai and Tokyo.

Specific responsibilities:

• Validate and submit numerous PRA, EBA & JFSA returns internally and to the Regulator on a daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly basis, covering PRA110, LCR, ALMM, NSFR & Asset Encumbrance reporting

• Support interpretation, guidance and challenge on PRA, EBA and JFSA Liquidity regulations in partnership with the EMEA Regulatory Policy group
• Act as a key liaison between Regulatory Reporting, Treasury Liquidity Management, Change/ Project teams, Regulatory Policy & IT

Key objectives critical to success:

• Ability to work to high degree of accuracy with logical and structured approach
• A control first mindset with ability to self-review, pro-actively identify issues and investigate / escalate appropriately
• Flexibility and the ability to keep pace with ever changing Regulatory landscape and control requirements, and resulting change to business processes
