As Markets continues to evolve, you'll help us respond to new challenges, find opportunities and continuously improve how we operate.

As a trusted expert, you'll stay ahead of industry trends, translating them into practical strategies that support our business goals. You'll engage with stakeholders across the organisation and beyond, helping to shape new opportunities and drive meaningful change.

• Strong understanding of the collateral management lifecycle, including exposures, valuations, margin management and settlement processes.

• Understanding of legal frameworks supporting collateral arrangements, including ISDA and CSA documentation.
• Experience operating within a risk and control-focused environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify and implement process improvements.
• Ability to manage multiple competing priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication and collaboration skills.

Desirable:

• Experience supporting regulatory change initiatives within Markets Operations and understanding industry developments impacting collateral management.
