Zdravka
Securitisation Middle Office manager
"I joined Société Générale in June 2003 as a long-term trainee in a management control unit responsible for preparing and controlling the budget in the debt and financing department. During the traineeship I discovered the bank's businesses and products and learned about the structures, tools and corporate culture of a major international bank. My traineeship also proved to be the best springboard for my recruitment by SG CIB in April 2004, as Middle Office manager in the European securitisation team. The securitisation business, which is at the crossroads between corporate finance and market finance, is a constantly-changing, developing activity, which offers young graduates the opportunity to acquire advanced technical understanding and to address complex financial, legal and risk monitoring issues."

Your expertise and skills are paramount for organizing, defining, and optimizing processes as well as analyzing and evaluating costs. You work closely with operational departments but also with client-facing teams and IT divisions.
