About the Role

As Manager, Corporate Actions, you'll take ownership of the end-to-end corporate action lifecycle for our Fund Administration and Custody clients, covering both mandatory and voluntary events.

• Owning income processing where applicable (dividends, distributions, interest accruals) and related client notifications. 
• Managing proxy voting elections and meeting notifications with clients and the sub-custodian/proxy agent. 
• Establishing corporate actions controls, procedures and an event-risk framework, and support onboarding of new client asset servicing flows.
