Prime Services Negotiator @Barclays

Whippany, NJ, US

As a Prime Services Negotiator at Barclays, I focus on drafting, negotiating, and executing a wide range of master trading documentation, with a primary emphasis on repo and futures agreements that support Barclays’ global Prime Services business. I serve as a negotiator liaising between internal stakeholders and external counterparties to ensure that all contractual terms align with the firm’s legal, regulatory, and risk management standards.My role involves conducting detailed legal analysis, managing complex negotiations, and ensuring compliance with documentation and operational controls. I work closely with Legal, Risk, Credit, and Operations teams to structure agreements that balance commercial objectives with risk oversight. In addition to day-to-day negotiation responsibilities, I contribute to process improvement projects, mentor, and help strengthen the firm’s documentation framework and knowledge-sharing culture.
