This requires comprehensive knowledge of ICEU's regulatory requirements, industry standards, and company policies, along with a good understanding of the project delivery lifecycle and coordination with ICE's technology teams in Atlanta.

The role requires understanding legislation underpinning regulatory reports and analyzing the impact of legislative changes. The candidate will represent ICEU in meetings with regulatory authorities such as the Bank of England, ESMA, and the CFTC, responding to complex and urgent requests. Active participation in industry groups like EACH and FIA is also expected.

Experience with business intelligence tools like Tableau is a plus, as these are used for testing reporting changes and responding to regulators' data requests.

Preferably, candidates will have a clearing background and a solid understanding of the regulatory landscape. Experience in finance, with the ability to quickly grasp complex business processes and data, is crucial.
