  • Support controlled communication of trade status and settlement updates to clients and counterparties
  • Maintain complete records of trade support, confirmations, settlement evidence, reconciliations, and exceptions in an inspection-ready format
  • Develop and maintain operational procedures for trade processing, settlement controls, escalation thresholds, and contingency handling
  • Escalate unusual, failed, late, or potentially suspicious trade activity to Compliance, Risk, or management as required

  • Prepare trade operations dashboards, settlement reports, break reports, and key control metrics for management
  • Support business continuity planning, contingency testing, and process resilience improvements
