Your role is crucial in identifying trends and opportunities for improvement to optimize our financial operations.

Key Responsibilities:

  9. Follow up on outstanding settlements with clients and lenders, escalating unresolved matters for review or resolution. Attend relevant forums as required.

  10. Ensure funding positions align with Money Market trades and prepare manual dealing tickets for interdivisional foreign currency settlements.

  11. Independently manage allocated portfolios, managing subsequent drawdowns, margin variations, and prepayments/repayments, ensuring accurate data for the loan book.

  12. Investigate and resolve client, lender, and internal queries to prevent any P&L impact.

  13. Maintain a clear understanding of the IB deal life cycle, procedure changes, and risks to process loans accurately and interact with key stakeholders effectively.

  20. Coordinate with Money Markets to ensure simultaneous trade cancellation, confirm breakage cost values, and prepare manual dealing tickets for interdivisional foreign currency settlements.

  21. Stay informed about market developments to guide process optimization and enhance the client experience.

  22. Vet and authorize settlement figures for all vanilla and structured transactions, ensuring accurate reconciliation of expected cash reconciliations.
