• Provide governance over FX pricing discounts and apply discretionary margins within approved authorities, considering trade size/frequency, relationship value and market conditions.
• Produce pricing proposals and obtain approvals for exception FX spot rates and deposit interest rates in line with pricing guidance and governance.
• Support FX execution by engaging with customers alongside the frontline as required (no client acquisition, origination or sales targets).
• Provide daily oversight of pricing exceptions, including escalation, remediation and transparent reporting.
• Coordinate FX lead management and follow-up to ensure tracking and closure in line with agreed processes.
• Ensure the FX Pricing Desk operates effectively and adheres to agreed monitoring and control processes.
