Transaction Processing Officer

Transaction Processing Officer

Imagine working within the Trade Lifecycle Management (TLM) team, where several different activities are performed. TLM consists of departments such as Collateral Management Operations (CMO), Corporate Actions (CA), and Investigations. Working within an inspiring and dynamic environment, where you will make a difference by learning and performing key operational processes for the bank, being in control and following procedures, and striving to improve processes.

As a Transaction Processing Officer in Trade Lifecycle Management, you will be principally responsible for sending/receiving margin calls and replying to calls from our counterparties. You work on a variety of investigations and resolutions of breaks in the Collateral Management area. You will produce reports in such a way that they can be used by other departments. You will seek close cooperation with Trading desks within Markets and Treasury, Operations, Legal, Compliance, and Risk Management. You will work in a team that is the single point of contact for questions regarding aspects of margining and collateral.

TLM CMO has a broad product scope within Markets and Treasury, including Securities Finance, Repo, and Derivatives (CSA) products traded bilaterally, via triparty, as well as centrally cleared transactions. The combination of many different product types, contact with other desks, and counterparties makes this a great position to learn about the Treasury and Markets environment.
