Corporate Actions Specialist

About the role

As lemon.markets expands its instrument range, corporate actions will become a critical part of daily operations. You'll take full ownership of the end-to-end lifecycle, from announcement capture and validation through elections, entitlement calculation, to final settlement and reconciliation. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering to shape the process and translate it into clear documentation and system requirements, then ensure smooth, consistent, customer-first execution at scale.

What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end corporate actions lifecycle across our growing instrument universe, from announcement capture and validation through elections processing, entitlement calculation, and final settlement.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to design and scale the operating model, turning real-world event flows into clear requirements, workflows, and screens that work in practice.
• Coordinate seamlessly with external stakeholders (custodians, issuers, depositories, brokers, and other counterparties) to ensure events are processed accurately and on time.
• Manage regulatory, tax, and market reporting obligations, meeting disclosure requirements, market deadlines, and internal control standards.
• Drive continuous improvement and automation, standardising processes, reducing operational risk, and implementing system and tooling enhancements as volumes increase.
• Build and share corporate actions knowledge internally, creating SOPs, event playbooks, operational handbooks, and policy documentation to upskill the broader team.

What you'll need

• Deep, hands-on experience in Corporate Actions Operations across fintechs, banks, custodians, brokers, or asset servicers, covering the full end-to-end lifecycle from event capture and validation through elections, taxation, reconciliation, and settlement.
• Practical familiarity with the German retail investing market and understanding of how European regulatory requirements translate into day-to-day operational realities (e.g., tax reporting, disclosures, and market deadlines).
• Comfortable operating within custody structures and market infrastructure (including CSDs/depositories) and able to build effective working relationships with custodians and other counterparties.
• Thrive in complex exception management, confidently running investigations end-to-end (e.g., cash/securities breaks, tax discrepancies, rate validations) and driving issues through to clear, documented resolution.
• Eye for detail with a strong risk, controls, and auditability mindset, ensuring outcomes are accurate, timely, and scalable.
• Track record of driving process improvements and automation, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to remove manual work and reduce operational risk.
• Fluent English (C1); German is a plus but not required.
