• Handle exceptional processes (fails, late instructions, settlement issues, system or market events) and escalate to senior management as per the escalation matrix.
• Maintain operating policies and procedures, maker-checker controls, and evidence of control performance.
• Oversee regulatory and management reporting for operations, including accuracy, completeness, and on-time submission.
• Support internal and external audits, including producing documentation and walking through processes.
• Liaise with regulatory bodies (e.g. SC and Bursa) on operational matters; run day-to-day engagement with share registrars, fund houses, the external custodian, and other counterparties.
• Review production processes for control gaps, operational risks, and inefficiencies, and drive process improvements and input to system enhancements.
• Support new product and business initiatives by defining the operational target state, systems, and process requirements.
