Party Reference Data - Associate I

Party Reference Data – Operations (PRD-Ops) is a JPMorgan & Chase function that supports every line of business. “Parties” are the entities the bank does business with and around—clients, issuers, obligors, guarantors, counterparties, exchanges, and more. Managing this data end-to-end (from onboarding through disposition) matters because party reference data is embedded in virtually every transaction: it links parties to contracts, accounts, and transactions.
As a Party Reference Data Associate, you will ensure client/party reference data is accurate, consistent, and traceable across the Global Bank within the CIB in a highly regulated environment. You will manage party data end-to-end (onboarding through disposition) for entities such as clients, issuers, obligors, guarantors, counterparties, and exchanges—data that underpins most transactions by linking parties to contracts, accounts, and activity.
You will resolve BAU data requests and inquiries across core platforms (Aurora, Party Central, Salesforce, SharePoint) within strict SLAs, serving as the front-line SME for process, system functionality, and data content. You will partner with Reference Data Technology (RDT), Operations, Product Owners, and Change/Release teams to triage issues, investigate root causes, and implement sustainable fixes. You will also maintain knowledge content, track and report KPIs and trends to senior management, and identify opportunities to improve controls, data quality, and automation.
