About the team

Working closely with Coverage, Fixed Income Sales & Trading and Risk, CM&S fulfils the debt origination function in addition to linking between various partners to drive new primary market debt transactions.

About the role

Our Documentation Management team partners closely with our Origination and Syndicate teams to make sure everything runs smoothly once a deal is underway - from preparing documentation to coordinating settlement for debt market transactions in Australia.

This role offers the chance to work with a variety of people; clients, banks, lawyers, and colleagues across the business, and to gain a strong understanding of how a capital markets transaction comes together from start to finish.

You'll be part of a supportive team that values attention to detail, collaboration, and a proactive mindset.

Please note: While this is a full-time position, we're open to a job-share arrangement, with each candidate working three days per week if we find two suitable applicants.
