- Co-ordinating drafting and negotiation of ISDA documentation with the legal team.
- Co-ordinating review and implementation of ISDA protocol adherence requirements with compliance teams where required.
- Initiate ISDA related onboarding activities carried out by other teams within Middle Office Onboarding (eg. collateral onboarding).
- Hold regular meetings with each bank to discuss and drive open requests and understand dependencies and issues affecting completion.
- Provide regular updates on fund launch ISDA cases against launch deadline and escalate any delays.
- Maintain an accurate database of ISDA/CSA documentation and critical terms within documentation including using the document repository.
- Maintain an accurate and current report of active ISDA relationships to be used by Dealing and Investment Teams.
- Be the point of contact for status updates on open requests, ISDA documentation queries/searches, ongoing KYC from banks.
- Be a primary user of the portal technology used to upload fund data and documentation, initiate and track open ISDA cases with banks.
- Onboarding of new banks into the end-to-end ISDA process including onto the portal technology solution.
- Be the operational process owner for ISDA onboarding, identify improvements and resolve inefficiencies within the ISDA onboarding process.
- Involvement in change projects involving ISDA or requiring ISDA related information.

Key Knowledge, Skills & Experience:

- Significant previous experience within an ISDA and derivatives onboarding role within the asset management industry is essential.
- Evidence of ownership and accountability for completion of onboarding requests within previous roles.
- Experience involving ISDA/CSA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) documentation, specifically ISDA agreement/ISDA accession letter drafting.
- Knowledge of KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures.
- Evidence of strong coordination and communication skills.
- Confident liaising across banks, front office and legal teams
