About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Cleared Collateral Management is part of Margin, Collateral & Valuations Operations (MCVO) within Global Banking & Markets.
The team is responsible for managing collateral, margin and associated risk across the firm’s cleared derivatives and futures activity, working with clients, clearing brokers and central counterparties (CCPs). The function operates at the intersection of Markets, Operations, Engineering, Risk and Treasury, supporting critical processes where effective liquidity management, strong controls and timely settlement are essential.
We are looking for a Executive Director to join the Cleared Collateral Management team in Singapore. The role combines day-to-day risk and operational leadership with a significant transformation mandate as we continue to simplify processes, strengthen controls and increase automation across the cleared collateral operating model.
The successful candidate will be expected to understand the underlying business and risk in detail, while also looking beyond the current process to challenge how we operate and drive strategic change.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Risk & Operational Management
- Provide senior oversight of daily collateral and margin activity across clients, clearing brokers and CCPs, including margin calls, cash and securities movements and collateral settlements.
- Assess daily risk and exceptions, ensuring material exposures, settlement issues and operational risks are identified, prioritised and escalated appropriately.
- Oversee key reconciliations, adjustments and payment approvals, with a strong focus on accuracy, controls and timely risk resolution.
- Provide clear risk reporting and escalation to management, including emerging issues and areas requiring intervention.
- Partner closely with global teams to ensure consistent controls and operating standards across the cleared collateral process.
Transformation & Strategic Delivery
- Play a leading role in the transformation of the Cleared Collateral operating model, identifying opportunities to automate, simplify and reduce manual intervention across key processes.
- Challenge existing workflows and controls, identifying opportunities to improve scalability, resilience and risk management.
- Translate operational and business requirements into clear strategic solutions in partnership with Engineering and other stakeholders.
- Lead delivery of transformation initiatives from requirement definition and process design through testing, implementation and adoption.
- Help define the future-state operating model for Cleared Collateral, including appropriate controls, ownership and exception management as processes become increasingly automated.
- Ensure transformation delivers measurable improvements in operational risk, efficiency and scalability rather than simply replicating existing processes.
Leadership & Stakeholder Management
- Act as a senior point of contact across Operations, Engineering, Business, Risk, Treasury and other partner functions on cleared collateral matters.
- Lead and develop team members, building deeper understanding of products, markets, risk and the end-to-end collateral lifecycle.
- Drive strong risk ownership within the team, ensuring issues are understood and resolved rather than simply escalated.
- Communicate complex operational and risk topics clearly to senior stakeholders and drive decisions across multiple teams.
- Support broader regional and global initiatives impacting collateral, clearing, liquidity and margin processes.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
- Experience within collateral management, cleared derivatives, futures, margin, clearing or a related Markets Operations function.
- Strong understanding of collateral and margin lifecycle, including cash and securities settlements, reconciliations and exception management.
- Demonstrated experience delivering process or technology transformation within a complex operational environment.
- Ability to identify control weaknesses and translate them into practical and sustainable solutions.
- Strong analytical skills and ability to understand complex processes, data and system dependencies.
- Proven ability to work effectively across Operations, Engineering, Business and control functions.
- Strong judgement and ability to manage competing priorities in a risk-sensitive, time-critical environment.
- Ability to lead, influence and drive change across teams, including where there is no direct reporting relationship.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to articulate complex issues clearly to senior stakeholders.
