Transaction Banking Operations is part of Transaction Banking within the Platform Solutions Division. We are responsible for building, developing and supporting Goldman Sachs’ Transaction Banking offering that is delivering a range of treasury and cash management products to our corporate client base. Transaction Banking Operations provide essential risk management and controls architecture to preserve and enhance the firm's assets and reputation. For every new product launched and every trade executed, it is Operations that develops and manages the processes and controls that enable business flow. We also manage the client relationships and assist clients with any transaction needs they have.

YOUR IMPACT

The group provides support for the full Transaction Banking product offerings including Deposits, Escrow, Virtual Integrated Accounts, and Global Payments capabilities. It is a plus if the candidate has prior experience managing Client Service teams supporting Transaction Banking Payment Services or FX Transaction Flows with a strong focus on delivering client service excellence coupled with risk management within a new evolving team. 

The ideal candidate will be integral to delivering for our clients every day while also partnering with Product, Digital, Sales, and Engineering to build out the next generation capabilities in Transaction Banking.

Key client-facing responsibilities will include managing strategic client relationships, exceptions resolution, handling of escalated client inquiries and most importantly – ensuring an exceptional client experience while growing a highly motivated team.

OUR IMPACT

Transaction Banking Operations is focused on scaling the recently launched Transaction Banking businesses and supporting the constantly evolving suite of innovative Transaction Banking Services we are offering clients, whilst adapting to the rapidly changing payment landscape. 

Our organization is the first line of defense for control and governance to protect both clients’ and the firm’s financial assets; and to provide a differentiated, best- in-class client service.  Transaction Banking Operations is a growing sub-division, with regional presence in Tokyo, Singapore, Bengaluru, London, New York, and Dallas. All our offices work closely together as a single global team in support of our Transaction Banking business. As this business expands we will look to increase our global footprint from both a team size and location perspective.

We manage a wide range of complex processes, with members developing skills and competencies around client service (client on-boarding, first line client support), cash management (including: payment controls, bank account management, virtual account management, cash concentration, payment formatting /settlement, reconciliation and claims), transaction support (FX Payment, Escrow, Money Market and Term Deposits), regulatory requirements, industry trends and change management.
