  • Liaise with traders, counterparties, custodians, banks and other internal and external stakeholders to resolve operational inquiries and settlement issues.
  • Maintain standard settlement instructions and support the setup and ongoing maintenance of counterparty information.
  • Support month-end, quarter-end and year-end reporting processes, including audit requests, control documentation and operational reporting.
  • Contribute to the ongoing review and enhancement of operational procedures, controls and governance frameworks.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement, standardization and automation to enhance efficiency, scalability and risk management.
  • Provide day-to-day guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced team members, as appropriate.
  • Participate in ad hoc projects and strategic initiatives related to investment operations, treasury activities, systems implementation and process enhancements.

What you’ll bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related business discipline.
  • Significant relevant experience in investment operations, treasury operations or a related middle office function; senior-level experience expected, typically including 7+ years in a similar environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of investment operations processes, including trade confirmation and settlement, reconciliations, cash management, account administration and collateral or margin activity.
  • Experience supporting fixed income products across multiple markets and currencies preferred.
  • Familiarity with operational requirements in U.K. and international market environments is strongly preferred.
  • Prior experience working with ALERT, CTM, DTCC, Clearwater, Bloomberg AIM and Kyriba preferred.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
