About the role A leading UAE bank is undertaking a major transformation programme to fully automate its regulatory reporting landscape.
We are looking for an experienced Functional Consultant to play a pivotal role in this initiative — translating regulatory requirements into bank-specific business logic, driving functional design, and ensuring a smooth transition from legacy/manual reporting to a modern, audit-ready automated solution.

Document detailed business interpretations and data transformation logic for all in-scope regulatory reports.
Drive functional solutioning workshops and finalise functional specifications with technology partners.

Define tolerance thresholds and adjustment/override processes within the automated workflow.
Perform Root Cause Analysis on functional defects across source data, mapping logic, and code.
Author the Operational Runbook for Reg Ops — covering triggers, exception handling, reconciliations, and override protocols.
