Job Summary

To deliver accurate, timely and controlled onboarding and maintenance of Global Markets legal agreement data in repository systems, ensuring executed contractual terms are translated into reliable reference data that supports trading readiness, close-out and settlement netting, collateralisation, regulatory reporting and downstream risk processes. The role acts as a subject-matter resource for complex agreement-data queries, applies maker-checker controls, coordinates with Markets Contracts, Legal, Sales, Relationship Managers, Margin Operations, Credit, Compliance, Technology and downstream consumers, and contributes to remediation, audit support, system enhancements and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

Agreement Data Onboarding and Maintenance
•    Review executed legal documents and supporting instructions and accurately capture required contractual and static-data attributes in iCDMS/TCDS for ISDA Master Agreements, legacy and regulatory CSAs, IM/VM CSAs, GMRAs, GMSLAs, fund agreements and other supported document types.
•    Complete new setups, amendments, fund or entity additions, terminations and historical-data remediation in accordance with approved procedures, user guides and service standards.
•    Interpret agreement provisions covering termination, branches, governing law, product scope, thresholds, minimum transfer amounts, independent amounts, eligible collateral, interest, netting, regulatory attributes and related terms; obtain Legal or Markets Contracts clarification where wording is bespoke or ambiguous.

Data Quality, Controls and Risk Management
•    Perform maker or checker responsibilities independently, validating the correctness, completeness and validity of data against executed documents, approved checklists and supporting approvals before changing a case to Executed status.
•    Maintain control evidence, including completed Data Entry checklists and supporting documents, in the approved repository and iCDMS record; promptly remediate identified exceptions and preserve a clear audit trail.
•    Apply relevant control requirements for master-agreement data-entry sign-off and accuracy, including CASS, Stays, netting, collateral and regulatory data considerations.
•    Identify operational, data-quality, conduct and regulatory risks; escalate material issues, recurring error themes, unclear ownership, system defects and breaches through the agreed governance channels.

Stakeholder Service and Operational Readiness
•    Partner with Markets Contracts and Legal, Markets Sales, Relationship Managers, Margin Operations, Credit, CVA, Compliance, Client Onboarding, Technology and other Operations teams to resolve onboarding blockers and enable clients to become operationally ready to trade.

•    Respond to stakeholder queries using the executed agreement and system record as the authoritative basis, clearly distinguishing data-entry responsibility from legal interpretation and policy ownership.
•    Manage assigned work to agreed service levels, prioritising regulatory, client, risk and business-critical requests while communicating realistic timelines, dependencies and exceptions.
•    Support downstream consumers by ensuring agreement data flows accurately to platforms and processes used for margining, exposure, risk, netting, booking controls and regulatory reporting.

Change, Remediation and Continuous Improvement
•    Participate in iCDMS/TCDS enhancements, impact assessments, user-acceptance testing and implementation readiness for new products, regulations, data attributes and downstream integrations.
•    Analyse error trends, manual touchpoints, hand-offs and legacy-data gaps; recommend practical improvements that strengthen data quality, reduce rework, improve turnaround time and minimise operational risk.

Knowledge, Governance and Team Contribution
•    Maintain current working knowledge of Global Markets products, agreement structures, process procedures, control standards and system guidance.
•    Prepare and maintain process documentation, user guides, training material, management information and evidence packs for governance, audit and assurance reviews.
•    Share subject-matter knowledge, support cross-skilling and onboarding of colleagues, and provide clear guidance on complex cases while preserving maker-checker independence.
•    Demonstrate the Bank’s valued behaviours by taking ownership, exercising sound judgement, collaborating inclusively, learning continuously and adapting constructively to change.
