Job Description
Job title: Transaction Lead, Transaction Advisory

You will operate in the Transaction Advisory function (a part of Transactions Policy and Advisory Group -TPAG) which is ultimately responsible for the due diligence that is undertaken on large and/or complex new transaction approvals (NTA and Non NTA), relevant new product approvals (NPA) and strategic acquisitions/ disposals, in a consistent manner across the Bank. These are some of the most interesting and high-profile transactions that the Bank executes.

In your day to day role supporting the Transaction Manager’s approval, you will closely liaise with Accounting Policy, Regulatory Policy, Business Finance, Reg Reporting, Market Risk, and other departments as appropriate.
