Its responsibilities include reviewing investor and management reports, monitoring transaction performance, overseeing payments and reconciliations, managing operational issues and transaction changes, supporting audits and maintaining appropriate governance and controls.

- Monitor transaction performance, key programme indicators and reporting requirements, identifying exceptions and escalating material issues where appropriate.
- Oversee recurring operational activities including payment processing, reconciliations, market data inputs and other transaction-specific requirements.
- Develop a strong understanding of the platform and its underlying processes, working closely with Client Implementation and Client Support teams to support the successful implementation and ongoing processing of transactions, and to identify and resolve operational or processing issues.
- Communicate directly with corporate clients, funders, auditors and service providers regarding reporting queries, transaction matters and operational requirements.
- Support transaction governance activities, including client meetings, audits, transaction changes and the maintenance of appropriate procedures and controls.
- Support the onboarding and transition of new transactions into Transaction Management, ensuring ongoing operational and reporting requirements are understood and documented.
- Lead specific cross-functional projects and transaction initiatives, coordinating activities across relevant teams to deliver agreed outcomes.
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, controls, automation and operational efficiency across the portfolio.
- Support and provide guidance to more junior colleagues, contributing to knowledge sharing and maintaining high standards across the team.
