Job Description
Converting Data into Market Trust
European DataWarehouse (EDW) is a Securitisation Repository designated by both the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It was established in 2012 as the first Securitisation Repository in Europe to facilitate the collection, validation, and download of standardised loan-level data for Asset-Backed Securities and private whole loan portfolios. Operating as a market infrastructure, EDW aims to increase transparency and restore confidence in the ABS market.
Ready to shape how Europe's financial community engages with data?
EDW's team is made up of a diverse mixture of colleagues from around the world. We work together to identify and meet the needs of our clients and the securitisation market as a whole.
Our team of experts prides itself on providing professional support to our clients as they navigate through the evolving regulatory environment. Thanks to a uniquely international office, we're able to respond to and guide customers through both providing and using our data in more than 15 languages.
We appreciate each other's unique perspectives, contributions, experiences, and ideas and are treated equally, regardless of age, gender, religion, or professional experience.
At EDW all employees are involved in the decision-making process and team members are encouraged to express their opinions freely. Due to the collaborative nature of the company, we operate with flat hierarchies and an open-door policy.

Beyond your daily responsibilities, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our validation processes and quality controls, helping to raise efficiency and reduce critical findings. You will also have the opportunity to support workshops, projects, and change initiatives, where your ability to translate complex requirements into practical guidance will make a real difference.
We are committed to providing you with the resources, training, and support you need to succeed. A dedicated mentor will be available to guide you as you grow in your role, and you will have opportunities to develop both professionally and personally.
We look forward to seeing your impact and supporting your journey with us. Welcome aboard!
