- In‑depth understanding of mandatory and voluntary event mechanics and APAC market infrastructures.
- Solid grasp of settlements and securities lending touchpoints; confident navigating time‑critical exchange and custodian cut‑offs.
- Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail; proven ability to operate under pressure and manage multiple deadlines.
- Clear stakeholder communication; comfortable supporting traders and operations peers in a front‑office setting.
- Advanced Excel (lookups, pivots, reconciliation tooling); exposure to SQL/VBA/Python is a plus.
- Degree in Business/Finance or equivalent experience.
