Responsibilities
- Own the design and governance of the endtoend global transaction operating model, from trade capture through confirmation and settlement.
- Define standardized workflows, ownership boundaries, and handoffs across front, middle, and backoffice functions.
- Establish transactionlevel control design principles, including exception management, fail monitoring, and escalation frameworks.
- Ensure consistent treatment of trade lifecycle events (e.g., allocations, amendments, confirmations, settlements, resets, novations, FX).
- Lead transactionfocused workstreams within platform modernization initiatives, ensuring systems reflect targetstate design rather than legacy processes.
