G MASS Consulting is partnered with a leading hedge fund seeking a Compliance Business Analyst to join its global Compliance function in Hong Kong.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who combines intellectual curiosity, process knowledge and genuine data fluency. It combines BAU Control Room responsibilities - including restriction-list management, position-limit monitoring and sanctions - with ownership of process, data and technology improvements designed to strengthen controls, data quality and automation.

The successful candidate will have a natural gatekeeper mindset: someone who is curious about how processes and controls operate, understands where each data point originates, and is prepared to challenge its accuracy and integrity. They will take front-to-back ownership of processes and issues, from identifying the underlying requirement or data source through to implementing and embedding the solution.

Responsibilities

Maintain and administer restriction lists, including watch and restricted lists, ensuring accuracy, completeness and timely updates.
Perform position-limit monitoring across asset classes, investigating and escalating breaches, exceptions and data anomalies.
Support the firm’s information-barrier and MNPI controls, including wall-crossing procedures and need-to-know governance.
Support sanctions screening and disclosure-of-interest obligations, including large and short position reporting and Takeover Panel disclosures.
Act as a day-to-day point of contact for the business on restriction, limit and conflicts queries, providing clear and timely responses.
Build and maintain SQL-based reports, checks and tools supporting restriction-list, position-limit and disclosure monitoring, reducing manual processing and improving data quality.
Develop a detailed understanding of data lineage, including where critical data points originate, how they move through systems and how they are used within downstream controls and reporting.
Investigate data-quality issues at source, challenging inconsistencies and ensuring that controls are supported by complete, accurate and reliable information.
Document, review and refine Control Room procedures, controls and workflows.
Gather and document requirements, working closely with technology teams to improve the data feeds, logic and tooling underpinning restriction and limit monitoring.
Take front-to-back ownership of process and data improvements, from identifying the issue and defining requirements through to implementation, testing and embedding.
Explore opportunities to improve controls and workflows through automation and AI-enabled tooling, while maintaining appropriate oversight and data governance.
Assist with periodic reviews, regulatory requests and audit queries.
Contribute to the continuing enhancement of the Control Room framework and its underlying data architecture.
Strong experience within a hedge fund, investment bank, asset manager or similarly regulated environment.
Background in compliance, Control Room, business analysis, data or a related operations function. Control Room experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Strong ownership mentality; this is a lean team with minimal supervision, so you'll need to spot what needs doing and see it through.
Experience owning issues front-to-back across teams, systems and data flows, not just one stage of a process.
Solid business-analysis skills: requirements gathering, process documentation, data analysis and working closely with technology teams.
Hands-on SQL and comfort with large, complex datasets; Python is a plus.
Awareness of how data quality, lineage and governance impact automation and AI-enabled processes.
Not a developer role, but you should be comfortable interrogating data and bridging Compliance and Technology.
Working knowledge of MNPI, information barriers and conflicts management, or the ability to pick this up quickly.
Track record balancing BAU control work with change, transformation or automation initiatives.

Length: initial 12-month contract
