Governance and Operations Officer

This role performs a key function in making our business run smoothly. As a regulated entity our business processes are extensively documented and timetabled, but we rely on this function to make sure that everything which needs to be done is done in a timely and correct manner.

In this role you will be responsible for supporting the Risk and Compliance Officer in ensuring that all regulatory timetables and deadlines are met. You will also organise and minute the meetings of the boards and committees, including timetabling and preparing agendas and documentation packs. You will facilitate the day to day work of the company’s executives by providing secretarial support to them.

Some parts of this role are public facing. The function of a Securitisation Repository is to get data and documents from those who create them (who pay for the service) to those who the Regulation says are entitled to access them free of charge. The person in this role will onboard customers, ensuring that contracts are completed and getting them and their data registered in our system. They will also be responsible for processing applications from prospective receivers of the data, following a well-defined due diligence process to ensure that those who are entitled to it are granted access and those who are not are rejected. This is a small but important part of the role, and is shared with other staff.

We are looking for someone who can work independently, pick new things up quickly and accurately, find solutions to problems they encounter, and approach their work in an organised and methodical way. We want somebody who will take on more responsibility as the company grows, including potentially line management responsibilities. We see opportunities in this role for development and progression for someone who can prove themselves.
