  • Manage relationships with external counterparties, custodians, and clearing brokers.
  • Support the optimisation of collateral usage and contribute to liquidity and funding initiatives.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk frameworks.
  • Assist in trade support functions related to equity finance and, where applicable, fixed income products.
  • Participate in system enhancements, process improvements, and automation initiatives within Operations.
  • Produce daily and monthly reporting for internal stakeholders.

Skills & Experience

  • 2-5 years' experience in a Middle Office, Collateral Management, Equity Finance, or related operations role (investment bank or asset manager preferred).
  • Strong product knowledge across equities, stock borrow/loan, equity swaps; exposure to fixed income (bonds, repos) is highly regarded.
  • Solid understanding of margining, exposures, and risk concepts.
  • Experience with collateral platforms, OMS/PMS, or settlement systems (e.g., GMI, Triana, CTM, Aladdin, or similar).
