The Global Special Services Team sits within S&P Global's Solutions Operations division, supporting clients of WSO (Wall Street Office) — our market-leading platform for active asset management, deal administration, and syndicated loan operations.

Responsibilities and Impact
As Specialized Account Services Sr. Analyst, you will be a critical point of contact for WSO clients — managing complex loan operations, driving data integrity, and ensuring an exceptional client experience across every interaction:

- Serve as a subject matter expert for WSO products and Solutions service offerings — participating in internal and external client meetings to analyse operational needs and deliver actionable recommendations on product usage and workflow optimisation.
- Lead cross-product research and enhancement projects — contributing to integration initiatives, process improvement programmes, and client-facing presentations that support clients' strategic business requirements and growth objectives.
- Collaborate across internal teams — partnering with leaders, peers, product associates, sales, and relationship managers to capture and channel client feedback, drive continuous product improvement, and maintain a consistently high standard of service delivery.
What We're Looking For
Basic Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related discipline
- 2–4 years of experience within the syndicated loan industry, with practical knowledge of loan transaction processing under LSTA, LMA, or equivalent market standards
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word, with demonstrated application to financial data management, reconciliation, or operational workflows
- Proven track record of managing client relationships at senior levels, with demonstrable experience resolving complex operational issues and maintaining high client satisfaction scores
- Strong written and spoken English language skills, with demonstrated ability to communicate complex financial or operational information clearly and concisely to varied internal and external audiences
Additional Preferred Qualifications
- Direct hands-on experience using WSO (Wall Street Office) and/or Loan IQ systems in a production environment
- Experience processing syndicated loan transactions, including amendments, reconciliations, and trade settlements
- Proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint, with experience preparing client-facing presentations or project coordination materials
- Experience in data research and analytics within a financial data, operations, or asset management context
