•    Knowledge of the rules related to the calculation of regulatory capital and RWA, as well as any associated reporting and disclosures (Basel, EU, PRA, or another major regulatory regime).
•    An understanding of the risk, regulatory, and accounting treatment of a broad range of products, particularly those related to green finance, consulting with SMEs across a global business as required. 
•    Ability to formulate and articulate defensible interpretations of regulatory and non-financial reporting requirements.
