Key Responsibilities:
- Champion a client-focused culture to deepen relationships and leverage the Bank's global network, systems, and expertise.
- Work with the Client Chaperone and Prime Services Transition teams to build out an efficient onboarding process across CMF and FX products.
- Independently manage the front-to-back onboarding of low-touch clients (banks, brokers, and cash counterparties), liaising with business units, Credit, KYC, Legal, and Operations teams to facilitate go-lives.
- Prioritise and manage the onboarding pipeline to optimise resource use and ensure efficient client activation.
- Serve as the single point of contact for low-touch clients throughout the relationship lifecycle, managing onboarding items pre- and post-go-live.

Key Partnerships:
- Collaborate closely with Capital Markets Sales Desks and senior stakeholders to manage onboarding priorities and drive efficiencies.
