JPMorgan Securities Services is in the process of re-engineering core platforms across the entire Custody transaction lifecycle. A critical component of the transformation journey is the Asset Record, which plays a central role as the strategic, real time bookkeeping source for the business, and more importantly serves as a shared platform across the entire Investment Bank.
This role is to lead the global Product Development team responsible for driving adoption of the Securities Services Asset Record, ensuring that all critical Securities Services business consumers are leveraging a single source of validated cash and securities positions across the organization.

Your completion of this multi-year initiative will allow the business to close product gaps, improve client experience, improve internal controls, reduce costs, and rapidly adapt to business and regulatory change.
