Are you a seasoned loan operations professional with a passion for accuracy, process optimization, and team enablement? A leading global financial institution is seeking a Workflow Coordinator to support and validate complex loan transactions, guide junior team members, and ensure smooth daily operations within a dynamic, high-volume environment. This role is ideal for someone who knows corporate loan processing inside and out and thrives in a collaborative operations setting. While this is not a formal management position, you’ll act as a subject matter expert (SME)—mentoring team members, validating work, and coordinating the daily workflow for a cross-functional loan operations team. You’ll work closely with international counterparts and report to the local team lead.
What You Will Do:
Workflow Coordination & Operational Oversight
Assign files and prioritize daily tasks across a team of loan administrators.
Validate transactional activities such as drawdowns, repayments, rollovers, rate fixings, interest/fee postings, and reconciliations.
Act as the key quality checkpoint before submissions are finalized, ensuring accuracy, data integrity, and compliance with internal policies.
Mentorship & Subject Matter Expertise
Serve as a go-to expert on loan processing operations (bilateral, syndicated, agency, and participant roles).
Provide ongoing coaching, technical guidance, and on-the-job training to junior team members.
Motivate the team through consistent standards, constructive feedback, and a hands-on leadership style.
Data Quality & Controls
Perform data reviews and daily operational checks; serve as a backup for the Team Lead during absences.
Ensure compliance with operational controls, regulatory standards, and internal audit requirements.
Escalate issues or gaps to management in a timely and effective manner.
Project Support & Process Improvement
Participate in internal projects, including system enhancements, process updates, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
Support broader change management initiatives aimed at improving loan operations efficiency.
What You Bring:
Education & Experience
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Finance, IT, or a related discipline
7+ years of experience in commercial loan operations, preferably in an international banking environment
Deep knowledge of corporate lending, loan administration systems (e.g., ACBS), and operational workflows
Experience coordinating team workflows or quality validation in a high-volume setting
Skills & Attributes
Strong analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail
Excellent communication skills in English (verbal and written); French is a strong asset
Comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across time zones
Proven ability to mentor others and influence without direct authority
Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel); exposure to loan servicing and payment systems a plus
Ability to manage time-sensitive tasks and thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Strong problem-solving and investigative mindset
Why Join?
Work with a global team on complex, high-impact commercial loan transactions
Hybrid work model offering flexibility and work-life balance
Opportunity to step into an informal leadership and SME role without direct people management
Participate in global projects and system modernization efforts
Make a meaningful contribution to the accuracy and integrity of the bank’s operations
