• Coordinate with traders, Trading Support, Back Office, custodians and counterparties to resolve post-trade, settlement and collateral-related issues.

• Investigate and resolve complex reconciliation breaks by reconstructing transaction lifecycles across internal records, custodians and counterparties to identify root causes.

• Support Securities Lending activities across European, Swiss, UK, Nordic, US and Asia-Pacific markets, applying market-specific settlement practices.

• Trained 3 colleagues across Securities Lending Operations and Collateral Management, contributing to knowledge sharing and team onboarding.
