- Support account transition activity, including new account launches, ensuring required accounting and operational activities are completed accurately and on schedule
- Respond to operational inquiries and information requests from internal business partners, auditors, custodians, and other service providers
- Maintain documentation supporting key operational controls and ensure established procedures are consistently followed
- Assist with the maintenance of the IBOR/accounting system and participate in testing of operational enhancements as needed
