• Performing data validation and quality assurance activities, including applying validation rules, reviewing exceptions, reconciling information and identifying incomplete, inconsistent or potentially erroneous data for follow-up
• Translating defined supervisory, policy and operational requirements into analytical and technical requirements, including data specifications, calculation logic and functional requirements, and working with relevant business and technology stakeholders as required
• Preparing analytical reports, briefing notes, presentations and other analytical outputs for technical and non-technical audiences, clearly explaining methodologies, findings, limitations and relevant observations
• Conducting in-depth analysis of AML/ATF-regulated financial institutions and sectors, including trend, comparative, thematic and risk-based analysis to support supervisory and regulatory activities
• Applying established analytical methodologies and controls and contribute to their ongoing refinement based on testing, data analysis and identified issues
• Identifying opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of analytical processes, including opportunities for automation, enhanced data visualisation and the appropriate application of advanced analytical techniques
• Researching relevant developments in AML/ATF, financial crime, data analytics, regulatory technology and supervisory technology and contributing technical analysis on their potential relevance to the Authority’s work
• Responding to data and analytical requests, maintaining relevant technical documentation and procedures and undertaking analytical projects and other duties assigned by management
• Monitoring relevant regulatory, financial-crime, data analytics and supervisory-technology developments, while identifying and implementing opportunities for automation, predictive analytics, process optimisation and responsible use of emerging technologies

• Demonstrated experience working with large, complex and multi-source datasets, including identifying and resolving data quality issues, reconciling information across sources and analysing incomplete or inconsistent data
• Demonstrated ability to work with ambiguous requirements, imperfect data and competing priorities, while producing accurate and reliable outputs within established deadlines and with limited supervision
• Experience working with confidential, sensitive or regulatory data, with an understanding of appropriate data handling, governance, security and confidentiality requirements
• Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases, with experience in data extraction, transformation and querying, and practical understanding of data quality, validation, reconciliation and data governance principles
• Strong working knowledge of Power BI or comparable BI tools, including developing data models, dashboards, KPI scorecards, data visualisations and reports
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills for data analysis, reporting and modelling
• Working knowledge of Azure, Microsoft 365, Dataverse or comparable cloud and data platforms. Practical knowledge of statistical analysis is required; exposure to Python or R, automation, APIs, version control or machine learning concepts would be an advantage
• Strong analytical judgement and problem-solving ability, including the capacity to infer meaningful conclusions from incomplete or inconsistent data, challenge assumptions and explain risk implications
• Excellent written, oral and interpersonal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to communicate complex analytical concepts and findings clearly to supervisors, policy specialists, technology professionals, senior stakeholders and non-technical users
