Data Associate, Transaction Management
About The Position
PIMCO is seeking a detail-oriented Transaction Management Data Associate & Controls professional to support the firm’s global transaction management transformation. The role focuses on data analysis, reconciliation frameworks, and certification criteria used to validate transaction accuracy, lifecycle completeness, and migration readiness as trade processing workflows move from legacy to strategic platforms. The analyst serves as a quality-control checkpoint, ensuring transaction data is complete, accurate, and production-ready before downstream consumers—including accounting, position management, performance, and risk—are migrated or rely on new workflows.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in trade management, transaction processing, investment data reconciliation, or operational controls within asset management, investment banking, or prime brokerage environments.
- Strong analytical skills and hands-on experience performing transaction-level reconciliations across multiple systems and asset classes.
- Solid understanding of trade lifecycle events, including allocations, confirmations, settlements, amendments, resets, novations, and FX impacts.
- Familiarity with migration certification, UAT methodologies, and parallel testing for trade or middle-office platforms.
- Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Python, SQL, and Excel, and experience developing exception reports or reconciliation dashboards.
- Strong written communication skills and ability to produce audit-ready documentation and clear certification summaries for senior stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Design and execute end-to-end reconciliation frameworks comparing transaction lifecycle data across legacy and target platforms, including trade capture, confirmation, and settlement states.
- Define and maintain certification criteria and acceptance thresholds to validate transaction completeness and accuracy across asset classes, regions, and booking entities.
- Perform root-cause analysis on transaction breaks, mismatches, and lifecycle discrepancies, identifying system behavior differences, control gaps, timing issues, and data quality failures.
- Develop and maintain controls, exception reporting, and monitoring dashboards for continuous validation during migration and stabilization.
- Partner with the Transaction Management transformation lead, Technology, Accounting, and Operations teams to document and remediate upstream data and workflow issues.
- Support UAT, parallel runs, and migration rehearsals by validating transaction logic, lifecycle progression, and reconciliation outcomes.
- Prepare evidence-based certification and signoff materials for senior stakeholders, audit teams, and migration governance forums.
- Monitor transaction-related exceptions during testing and migration, escalating material issues and driving resolution within defined SLAs.
Benefits
- Discretionary bonus determined by company, business, team, and individual performance.
