This role is responsible for ensuring high quality regulatory reporting to the Bank of Italy, working cross functionally to guarantee accurate, compliant, and timely submissions. Beyond the preparation of reports, the role plays a key part in process governance—ensuring robust due diligence, strong control frameworks, and reliable end to end reporting practices.

You will actively monitor regulatory developments, assess their impact, and implement reporting solutions that ensure our business remains aligned with evolving prudential requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the preparation and submission of regulatory reports to the Bank of Italy, ensuring full accuracy, compliance, and timeliness.
• Prepare review materials and variance analyses, and present findings to senior management to support submission approvals.
• Own the interpretation of prudential regulation applicable to FCI as prescribed by the Bank of Italy and the EU.
• Collaborate with Ford Credit’s Shared Services Regulatory Reporting team to deliver strategic reporting solutions and support consolidated reporting activities, including governance and oversight.
• Support the FCI Compliance & AML Manager and senior management in interactions with the Bank of Italy on all regulatory reporting matters.
• Assess regulatory impacts arising from new business initiatives or prudential regulation changes (e.g., Basel 3+), contributing to regulatory change management and coordinating aligned implementation plans across impacted teams.
• Lead the Finance workstreams within key strategic and regulatory projects, engaging with central SMEs, Compliance/Risk, and Legal teams.
• Support the preparation of ICAAP and Pillar 3 reporting requirements.
• Manage the relationship with the external regulatory reporting provider (Sistemi Informativi).
• Ensure a robust quality assurance framework is in place to maintain the integrity of regulatory submissions.
• Support annual report preparation, with a focus on Bank of Italy regulatory disclosures.
• Oversee and provide guidance to the Regulatory Reporting Analyst role.

The minimum requirements we seek:

• Proven experience in regulatory reporting within the financial services sector.

• Ability to proactively monitor and interpret regulatory developments, anticipating required changes.
• Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to identify, assess, and address regulatory requirements effectively.
• Strong problem solving abilities, with a proactive and structured approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Italian and English, with the ability to influence and collaborate across multiple business areas.
