A successful incumbent is expected to utilize strong knowledge of post-trade operations and standard settlement messaging formats like SWIFT MT56x and MT54x. The position also demands proficiency in Microsoft Excel for reporting and data management, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Attention to detail and robust operational audit practices are essential for effective risk mitigation. Fluency in English is essential for daily communications and documentation.

- Exceptional Communicator: Fluency in English (oral and written) enables you to interact confidently with international stakeholders, handle inquiries professionally, and convey complex information with clarity. Bilingualism is viewed as a significant asset.
- Operationally Astute: Your knowledge extends to standard messaging protocols (such as SWIFT), reconciliation processes, and regulatory compliance. This expertise is underpinned by prior experience in corporate actions or securities operations, ideally within a custodial or back-office setting.
- Meticulous and Organized: You exhibit unwavering attention to detail and a disciplined approach to managing sensitive financial data, ensuring all entries and updates are correct and verifiable.
- Dependable Team Player: We value individuals who are self-driven yet cooperative, eager to support colleagues, and uphold a high standard of personal responsibility and integrity in their work.

- Deadline-driven Multitasker: The ideal candidate can handle multiple concurrent priorities, remain level-headed under pressure, and deliver results within tight deadlines, all while maintaining operational risk awareness.
