Assistant Analyst, Portfolio Manager

The Assistant Analyst is responsible for completion of operational tasks across equivalent middle and back office functions that directly interface with banking origination, portfolio teams, and treasury front office. The day‑to‑day responsibilities include processing disbursements and related transactional activity across a range of products, ensuring that EBRD accurately and timely processes, settles, and manages banking/treasury products in the global markets. Where relevant, the role may lead changes to legal documentation post‑signing.

Supported and mentored by colleagues, the individual will manage a portfolio of basic operations and interact with multiple teams across the bank, including Treasury, Risk, Office of General Counsel, and broader corporate services teams. Role holders may be required to handle client communications on banking matters and support project covenant reporting across the wider team’s portfolio of deals, sharing documents with external parties who participate in EBRD projects.

The individual will adopt a continuous improvement mindset and be expected to contribute to improving operational processes across the OSM function.

Under the supervision of colleagues the role holder will:

• Execute operational processes that facilitate adequate documentation, booking, funding, and monitoring/reconciliation of the bank’s products (e.g., disburse bank funds across a range of product types).
• Deliver outstanding operational performance measured by adherence to established operational metrics – timeliness, quality and customer satisfaction.
• Respond to operational queries promptly and in a timely manner.
• Communicate with relevant departments that may have significant implications for projects or related transactional activity to ensure that decision‑makers are aware of the risks involved.
• Support the wider team on tasks related to transactions, reporting, and data management across the portfolio of projects.
• Where necessary, provide additional capacity across OSM to ensure expected service levels are maintained, including unanticipated deadlines defined by banking clients.

• Be part of a culture where team members are responsible for the quality of their output, ensuring adherence to established quality/assurance targets.
• Help support the broader improvement of OSM’s control environment.
• Ensure that new processes and practices comply with quality standards, applicable policies and relevant legislation.
• Be a team player in a department that strives to create a best‑in‑class operational function.
• Support the identification and implementation of initiatives that drive improved efficiencies in OSM to enhance the overall service experience – timeliness, quality, engagement, etc.
• Demonstrate self‑awareness of personal and broader operational metrics, identifying opportunities for improvement, either personally or collectively.

• In delivering day‑to‑day operational activity, conform to established service levels and standards.
• Where necessary, work collaboratively with other colleagues/teams involved in a hybrid service model.

• Work collaboratively with colleagues to facilitate operational outcomes that adhere to established service levels.
• Positively influence others to help deliver a sustainable operations function.
• Proactively work with the business to identify and manage backlogs, guiding them on prioritisation and, where necessary, conveying wider operational constraints.
• Be an ambassador for OSM across other departments by delivering outstanding operational outcomes.
