Data Analytics & Reporting

This role sits within the Market Risk team at BMO, part of Enterprise Risk & Portfolio Management. We are responsible for ensuring the integrity and reliability of the market data that supports BMO Capital Markets' trading activities. As a Market Risk Senior Analyst, you’ll take a hands-on role in improving how critical market data is sourced, validated, and delivered — helping ensure that decisions are based on complete, accurate, and well-controlled information.

The work is technically challenging and highly relevant: you'll be solving market data problems that have a direct impact on how the bank manages trading risk. You'll also work closely with both market risk and technology partners, and gain exposure to a wide range of trading products, systems, and processes. It’s a strong fit for someone who’s analytical, detail-oriented, and interested in how capital markets really work — from the inside out.

Key Responsibilities

·Maintain and enhance market data quality controls, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and consistency across trading product datasets.

·Build and support data pipelines and tools that enable efficient ingestion, validation, and transformation of market risk data.

·Investigate and resolve data anomalies by reconciling inputs from source systems (e.g. trading, valuation, reference data) with risk outputs.

·Work closely with technology teams, Capital Markets stakeholders, and risk managers to align data definitions, usage, and business rules.

·Develop and automate data validation scripts and exception reporting using tools like Python and SQL.

·Assist with implementation of strategic data initiatives including data remediation, control enhancements, and documentation standardization.

·Support daily and monthly production cycles, ensuring timely delivery of risk metrics and risk reports to internal and regulatory consumers.

·Apply working knowledge of trading products (e.g., fixed income, credit derivatives, rates, FX) to contextualize risk data and flag inconsistencies.

Qualifications

·3–5 years of experience in market risk, financial data management or engineering, or Capital Markets operations.

·Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with hands-on experience manipulating large financial datasets.

·Solid understanding of Capital Markets products and risk measures (e.g., sensitivities, VaR, stress results).

·Familiarity with market risk data flow and the systems landscape (e.g., trading platforms, valuation engines, reference data sources).

·Experience building or maintaining data validation, reconciliation, or control frameworks.

·Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.

·Strong communication skills for working with both technical teams and business stakeholders.

·Prior experience with reporting tools (PowerBI, Tableau) is an asset.
