Position Purpose

Within the Capital Market Transversal
Operation of BNP Paribas CIB, the Global Client Service team objective is
to provide our clients with a top of the range service and ensure a dedicated
follow up of business continuity.

Regulatory regimes imply material changes in
our internal ways of working and in the relations with clients, due to the
extent of the scope at stake

· Multiple regulations across
the globe: Europe (such as EMIR), U.S. (such as Dodd Frank Act, FATCA) and
several jurisdictions in Asia Pacific (e.g. in Hong Kong)

· Extra-territoriality

· Various and
heterogeneous requirements such as timely confirmation, trade reporting, mandatory
clearing / margining, distribution to Equity Research to Major US
Institutional Investors only

· All types of clients
(Institutional, Corporates, Central Banks, Hedge Funds) impacted

· All BNP Paribas
entities (such as non-European subsidiaries) must comply with their own
obligations

Tax legislations (such as the Hire Act in the
US or the CRS standards committed by OECD countries) are on the agenda and
require an extensive client classification exercise along with a potential
regulatory procedural obligation.

All those regulatory requirements bring about
an intensive client communication to (i) informing &
educating our clients on regulations BNP Paribas is subject to, (ii)
undertaking procedural exercises, when needed, to comply with our regulatory
obligations and (iii) informing the clients about the impacts
on our business relationship with them should BNP Paribas fail to comply with
its own obligation.

An intensive internal coordination is also
required to educate the Business representatives (Global Market and Coverage)
about the regulatory framework, the impacts on their clients and the relevant
contigency action plan.

The Client Management Regulations APAC team is also closely collaborating
with other functions looking after regulatory affairs such as Legal,
Compliance, Project Management, IT, Finance, Due Diligence and both Global
Market Regulatory Affairs and Global Market Business Management.

The Client Management Regulations team is
client facing, responsible for client communication related to regulatory
changes resulting from MIFID 2, EMIR (European Market Infrastructure
Regulation), the Dodd-Frank Act in the US, other OTC derivatives regulatory
regimes (including those pursuant to HKMA and MAS rules), tax-related
legislations (e.g. FATCA and AEOI [Automatic Exchange of Information]),
Equity Research enablement, among others. All this need to be addressed
diligently due to the very important stakes; indeed, not being compliant in
due time could result trading disruption, loss in firm’s reputation and
regulatory breach.
