• Practical experience in investment accounting concepts and data, for example IBOR.
• Strong data mapping capability, comfortable working with schemas and structured datasets.
• Experience comparing current-state extracts to future-state design and documenting impacts.
• Strong requirements writing and acceptance criteria writing skills.
• Hands‑on JIRA experience, creating tickets and refining them with developers.
• SQL experience is preferred, especially for extract validation and data investigation.
• Clear communication and structured approach to stakeholder discussions and documentation.
