Working with institutional investors, banks, insurance companies, governments and multinational corporations, Securities Services offers a range of fund administration, global custody, sub-custody and clearing, and corporate trust and loan agency services.
We are currently seeking a high calibre professional to join our team as an Account Manager – Account Management, Securities Services (SSV).
Principal Responsibilities
Role Overview
Markets & Securities Services provides industry-leading services to corporate and institutional clients worldwide, and is a significant part of the HBSC Global Banking & Markets division.
Account Management AO&M sits within the SSV platform, and this role has been created to further support the consistent application and on-going delivery of the “Next Generation” of account management to SSVs’ strategically important Asset Owners & Managers client base, across SSV products.
Working alongside Client Service Managers and the Client Executives, a primary purpose of the role will be to ensure that we deliver a service proposition that recognises and adapts to changing client requirements as automation and digitisation reduce reliance on operational interaction day to day, and clients seek to extract additional, long term value from their service providers. In cases where there are no client executives assigned, perform the activities of the Client Executive.
The role will be critical to the satisfaction and sustainability of our client relationships by helping create and maintain a platform for growth within the AO&M sector and ensuring we deliver:
- An industry-recognised, best in class account management proposition
- A fully reference-able client base with limited/zero attrition
As well as overseeing and maintaining the highest levels of service as a core SSV relationship foundation, the role-holder will identify and deliver key differentiators to clients. This will include the utilisation of data and new technology, the multiple products and services that complement the SSV offering within the Group and leveraging SS’ extensive proprietary network - people and market influence.
To do so, the role-holder will be required to continually familiarise themselves with the services SSV offers today and the product roadmap for the future.
Additionally, the role-holder will effectively support Client Executives and Sales Directors on new and cross sale initiatives for strategic clients/prospects, as well as owning commercials and maximising profitability and incremental growth opportunities with clients. In cases, where no client executive is assigned, work on these activities as the client executive for the assigned portfolio of clients.
To achieve this, the role-holder will need to forge deep relationships with key stakeholders including from the following business partners:
- Client Service Management
- Client Executives
- Operations
- Digital & Data
- Client & Sales Enablement
- Product
- Portfolio Delivery
Managing relationships with clients and other stakeholders throughout the industry will also be key to the success of the role, and will necessitate that client events are planned and attended appropriately and that client feedback and key management reporting is effectively produced and utilised.
In summary, the role-holder will ensure we attain the highest levels of satisfaction, retention and reference-ability of the SSV AO&M client base. Additionally, the role-holder will be acting as the core relationship touch point across SSV products for a select number of clients. Many of the SSV teams, including client management, are virtual and spread over multiple geographical locations, making collaboration with client and internal stakeholders a crucial component of the success of the business.
