priorities. It is expected that this role will focus on supporting Tax Change initiatives.
The objective of the RTM portfolio within Strategic Delivery is to safeguard the Securities Services (SSv) business globally and ensure we remain at all times within compliance requirements so we can continue to operate. The composition of the portfolio is driven by changes either in (1) external regulatory and tax compliance requirements, or (2) by market driven change (such as IBOR or the SWIFT ISO standards), or (3) by  Group/GBM/SSv mandated programmes of work (such as NFRO).
In all instances these changes will typically impact the Securities Services business across multiple product lines and/or countries and regions and hence require support from the central RTM Portfolio to co-ordinate, manage and implement the resultant change.

Projects will usually involve the building of new business models in conjunction with COO, CCO and Product to support internal business or external market driven initiatives; re-structuring of existing business; and/or re-engineering initiatives driven by industry changes and internal projects / initiatives. Effective liaison with Regulatory Compliance, Tax Compliance, Legal and Client Management functions is an integral component of most projects. The RTM Portfolio is part of the wider Securities Services Strategic Delivery. We ensure effective and efficient definition, planning, management and execution of global and regional change programmes that are driven by regulatory or tax compliance requirements, or that are mandatory in nature and driven from the NFR or COO functions. Programmes of work often span the organisation and may have Group, MSS or GBM sponsorship.

This Business Analyst role is to support and understand structures, operations, processes, product and service offerings, policies and systems as part of the Securities Services RTM portfolio team. Specifically, this Edinburgh based role will support the Tax Programme, and in particular our FATCO / CRS programme. The successful candidate will be expected to support and lead a variety of business analysis activities across the programme. An understanding of the following areas would be beneficial: FATCA reporting, Tax services, Transfer Agency structures and services
