Developer Services are a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators. 

To own the production and control of regulatory reporting outputs for Developer Services, ensuring submissions are accurate, timely and supported by robust analysis.

• Deliver WUK report processing and monthly regulatory reporting activities in line with required standards, governance processes and submission deadlines.
• Support APR reporting and wider annual regulatory assurance activities through the preparation, analysis and validation of robust data sets and supporting evidence.
• Monitor regulatory performance through trend analysis and forecasting, identifying emerging risks, deteriorating performance and opportunities for improvement.
• Ensure regulatory data is effectively controlled, reconciled and supported by clear audit trails, maintaining the integrity and reliability of all submissions.
• Work closely with the Compliance & Assurance Manager to support audit readiness, governance reviews and internal and external assurance activities.
• Provide regulatory insight and reporting expertise to operational and strategic stakeholders, helping translate complex data into meaningful actions and business decisions.
• Act as a key point of contact for Developer Services regulatory reporting, ensuring submissions are accurate, well-evidenced and recognised as a trusted source of regulatory performance information.

What skills & qualifications you will need:

• Experience in analytical, reporting, compliance or assurance-based roles, with responsibility for managing and interpreting performance data.
• Good understanding of regulated reporting environments and regulatory performance measures, with knowledge of D-MeX, WUK and APR reporting requirements.

• Excellent attention to detail and a strong control mindset, ensuring data accuracy, integrity and robust evidence trails.
• Ability to translate complex technical data and reporting outcomes into clear, meaningful insights for operational and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills, with an evidence-based approach to decision-making and regulatory assurance.

Although we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it’s important to us that we support flexible working patterns and job share options (when we can), to help you make the best of both your work and home life.
