* Regular reporting of reconciliation status for each custodian.
* Ensure regulatory compliance (e.g. CSDR) in the securities reconciliation process (i.e. ensuring daily reconciliation, investigation and allocation of reconciliations breaks, ensuring the integrity of the issue by identifying undue deletion or creation of securities in the reconciliation breaks.)
* Maintaining strong and effectively working connections to internal and external counterparties and understanding how they operate
* Have a continuous improvement mind set to seek out and implement new and better ways of achieving objectives, preventing errors or delays reoccurring, and automating and streamlining processes within the team. Be forward looking and solution minded.

* Be risk aware and take all steps necessary to minimise errors including fully complying with existing procedures and staying aware of procedure changes.
* Escalate and advise any relevant issues to Management as necessary.
* Assist in project work where required.
Your profile:

* Ideally, the candidate will have relevant experience in investment funds and well-developed understanding of business context and processes.
* Knowledge of Clearstream systems as well as an understanding of Clearstream's ICSD and CSD business an advantage.
* Previous working experience in finance or administration, including reconciliation tasks is an advantage.
* Good analytical skills and detail orientation (e. g. ability to analyze complex financial processes linked to settlement, corporate actions, income, order routing, etc.).
* Excellent accuracy and attention to detail.
* Technical affinity (understanding and working with complex inhouse IT systems).
* Responsible individual with capability to adapt and to quickly acquire new working methodologies.
