Sebako

I work in the Operations division of the London office of Goldman Sachs. I currently manage the outgoing documentation teams for Equity and Credit Derivatives as well as the Retrievals and Affirmation team for the Structured Equity Derivatives piece.

My work is very much team-based. We cover many different products and have to liaise with many other divisions to get our job done daily. For example, if a new product is launched we work closely with Legal, the Exotic Trade Review team and Trading to get the correct documentation framework in place. We will also need to work with the Middle Office, projects and IT teams to ensure our systems are set up correctly.

In my four and a half years here, I have had the opportunity to work in three different roles. I have been able to get closely involved in recruitment and other initiatives, such as co-chairing the Operations Black Network, that have further enhanced my experience and personal development. I’ve also had the opportunity to influence how the industry moves forward through our participation in ISDA Working Groups. This is one of the areas in which Goldman Sachs excels.
