Brokerage Operations, as part of the Fund Dealing & Brokerage Capability, is responsible for asset servicing and administration of Brokerage holdings on Fidelity’s Retail Investment Platform. Functional responsibilities are split into five areas:

• Trade Operations for trade & settlement;
• Corporate Actions for corporate events and dividends;
• Stock Deposits for the transfer of certificated holdings;
• Stock Plan Services (SPS) for activities and processing related to employee share incentive scheme operations;
• Controls for oversight of regulatory reporting and other controls across the team.

This Senior Associate/Process Specialist role will focus on the support of Stock Plan Services but will be expected to work across more than one team. It requires the role holder to become a Subject Matter Expert and key contact across Operations for SPS while supporting other teams as needed. This will be achieved by gaining a detailed knowledge of Fidelity’s offering and its impact on the Brokerage team and other Operational areas, as well as assuming responsibility for daily BAU activities such as:

• Completing daily controls via reports and other checks in accordance with procedures;
• Assisting SMEs across operations with SPS queries and actively raising awareness through training and informational sessions;
• Managing and supporting operational readiness tasks for share plan award distributions;
• Working closely with all SPS Product owners, supporting award distributions and settlement processes;
• Working with customer support teams at Fidelity Investments to provide a seamless customer experience across companies.

With a solid background in Brokerage, you’re the specialist we need. You:

• have experience working in a client supporting team in a brokerage environment;
• take ownership and drive deliverables forward, seeing things through to completion;
• are a strong and effective communicator at all levels including stakeholder and customer management;
• are a self-starter with a dynamic “can do” attitude with a strong desire to make things happen;
• can be flexible, adaptable, and able to re-prioritise and organise effectively;
• have the ability to “think on your feet” and develop innovative and effective solutions.

For starters, we’ll offer you a comprehensive benefits package. We’ll value your wellbeing and support your development. And we’ll be as flexible as we can about where and when you work – finding a balance that works for all of us. It’s all part of our commitment to making you feel motivated by the work you do and happy to be part of our team.
