Summary
Your new company
A leading Financial Services provider with a truly global footprint is considering hiring a seasoned Master Agreements negotiator to join on an 8-12 month FTC. They are working with a diverse portfolio of institutions and organisations that has placed them at the vanguard of their field, and their approach is defined by innovation and sustainability.
Your new role
Reporting to the Global Head of Master Agreements Negotiation in Europe, you would work on a large portfolio of Master Agreements with a focus on the UK. Interacting with a range of internal teams and external clients, you would carry out:
- Drafting, negotiation and execution of Master Agreements, including amendments
- Capacity and authority checks
- Close-out netting and collateral legal opinions checks
- Review of clients' comments in a short period of time
- Early send-outs of deviation requests to internal stakeholders
The role would be dynamic and fast-paced and requires both independent and collaborative working practices. It is a potential opportunity for a resilient team player to shine within a global institution.
What you'll need to succeed
The team would be looking for a highly organised negotiator with a legal background and at least 5 years' experience in ISDA, CSA (VM, IM), CDEA, GMRA, and GMSLA. You would also need good knowledge of Master Agreements regulatory frameworks (including EMIR, UK EMIR, MIFID, BRRD etc.). The team is implementing new AI software, and working knowledge of this (or change management experience) would be beneficial.
The role would involve engagement with a range of external clients, including credit institutions, asset managers, hedge funds, and insurance companies; a client-focused outlook is essential. Therefore, the ideal candidate would be an excellent communicator and influencer who can find solutions and achieve results.
What you'll get in return
- A competitive day rate
- Hybrid working (3 days in central London)
- The opportunity to further your experience within the negotiation mechanism of a major financial institution
- Potential for extension
