Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Manage Repo/Securities Lending transaction settlements: This includes confirming settlements and pair‑offs with counterparties, researching and resolving shortfalls in deliveries, and liaising with front office partners when their actions are required.
• Maintain clear communication: Keep our Front Office trading partners and customer excellence support teams updated on the status and trends of problematic transaction settlements and flows.
• Produce comprehensive reporting: Generate daily status reports and monthly summaries detailing failed transaction settlements and their root causes.

• Develop and maintain operating procedures: Create and update operating procedures for the functions covered. Provide cross‑training to US‑based teammates to ensure consistent support in your absence.
• Foster collaboration: Provide cross‑functional support with other members of the US Clearing team.
• Support inquiry resolution: Assist in responding to customer inquiries and audit requests.

• Strong understanding of US Central Counterparties (CCPs) such as DTC/NSCC/OCC.
• Comprehensive knowledge of the securities financing business (Securities Based Lending and Repo) and Delta One trading strategies.
• Familiarity with relevant applications, including BONY BDC, Access Edge, Nexen, and DTC.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience with Power BI, DuCo, Alteryx, or similar data analysis and workflow automation tools, with a strong willingness to learn new technologies.
• Exceptional time‑management skills, with a proven ability to prioritize tasks effectively based on risk and urgency.
• Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, enabling clear and concise interaction with diverse stakeholders.
