Master Agreements Negotiator

Your new company
An exciting opportunity has come about for a seasoned Master Agreements negotiator to join a leading Financial Services provider with a truly global footprint on a 9-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 will 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 will 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 is dynamic and fast-paced and requires both independent and collaborative working practices. It is an opportunity for a resilient team player to shine within a global institution.

What you'll need to succeed
The team is 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 will also need good knowledge of Master Agreements regulatory frameworks (including EMIR, UK EMIR, MIFID, BRRD etc.). The team is currently implementing new AI software, and working knowledge of this (or change management experience) would be beneficial.
The role involves 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 will be an excellent communicator and influencer who can find solutions and achieve results.

What you'll get in return
