• Align system behavior with IFRS and internal accounting standards
• Serve as a bridge between operational teams and platform vendors (e.g., SimCorp, Eagle, Bloomberg)

Core Skills

• Strong understanding of public market instruments, including equities, fixed income, money markets, and derivatives (futures, options, swaps, FX)
• Knowledge of the full trade lifecycle: capture, enrichment, matching, settlement, corporate actions, position updates, and valuation
• Deep familiarity with investment accounting concepts: IBOR vs ABOR, accruals, cost basis, realized/unrealized P&L, FX translation, and exposure reporting
• Experience working with investment management systems (IMS) such as SimCorp Dimension, Bloomberg AIM, Charles River, Eagle, or Aladdin
• Understanding of data lineage from trade execution through to valuation and reporting, including pricing/reference data sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, ICE)

• Experience with IFRS‑related reporting or investment audit preparation
• Knowledge of front, middle, and back‑office investment workflows
• Familiarity with data warehouses and batch processing tools
