Contractual Terms Risk Management - ISG Management - Associate/VP

Senior Associate/VP in Contractual Terms Risk Management (CTRM) at Morgan Stanley. This role focuses on identifying, interpreting, and challenging contractual provisions across trading agreements (e.g., ISDA, CSA, Prime Brokerage, Repo, Securities Lending) and translating them into risk insights and scalable data. It is not a document negotiation role; rather, it emphasizes strategic risk management, data and infrastructure transformation, and AI-enabled contract analytics. Responsibilities include driving capture and governance of structured contractual data, partnering with Technology and Strats to enhance data models and automation, and providing oversight and escalation for core CTRM processes. The role requires effective stakeholder engagement across Risk, Credit, Legal, Sales & Trading, Operations, and Finance, with the ability to communicate complex implications and deliver actionable recommendations under tight deadlines. Qualifications include strong written and verbal communication, high attention to detail, and experience coordinating cross-functional teams; a Bachelor’s degree is required and a JD or equivalent legal background is preferred.
