- Manage the post-trade lifecycle of repo transactions, including collateral settlement, monitoring, reconciliation, reporting, exception resolution, and maturity processing
- Supply confirmed capital markets and derivative cash flows into the daily cash position, and advise on deployment of the resulting surplus
- Maintain the consolidated enterprise cash flow forecast, integrating investment, repo and derivative flows with the operating and funding forecasts prepared elsewhere in Treasury, and own the structural view beyond one year
- Run liquidity stress testing, scenario analysis and behavioural modelling in support of the Contingency Funding Plan and the Liquidity Risk Management Framework, on methodology set by the Manager, Capital Markets

- Support internal audit, external audit and FSRA examinations with evidence, walkthroughs and remediation of findings
- Produce the settlement, collateral, counterparty exposure and structural liquidity content of ALCO and management reporting, and write memos that make complex positions legible to a non-specialist reader
