Financial Services

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is a leading provider of wholesale funding for housing and community finance in New England serving more than 420 financial institutions across the region. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is committed to making New England a better place to live and do business, and our employees are integral to our success. As a cooperative, we are owned by more than 420 banks, credit unions, insurance companies, and community development financial institutions that access tens of billions of dollars of our reliable, wholesale funding each year. Our funds are a vital resource that helps our members succeed, provide families with safe, decent affordable housing, and generate economic development that creates jobs in communities throughout our region.

Our highly skilled team of 220 is innovative, collaborative, and passionate about the work we do. We seek other professionals excited to share their knowledge, talent, and passion for our mission to join our team. We offer opportunities for career development, robust benefits, and a work-life balance.

Position Summary
The internal job title will be Senior or Lead Bank Operations Specialist. This position is classified as sensitive. Sensitive positions are subject to a credit check as part of the background verification.
Our dynamic small Bank Operations function offers the opportunity for an experienced professional to be cross trained to cover multiple product lines. This role adheres to a rotational schedule for all Bank Operations Specialists to support training, to deepen skill and product line knowledge. The incumbent will demonstrate operations subject matter expertise with regard to responsibilities that include the execution and/or management of the operation and assuring the integrity of the Bank’s Investment, funding, member, correspondent services activities. Lead Bank Operations Specialist provides guidance and direction for multiple Bank Operations disciplines. In addition to product knowledge, a Senior or Lead Bank Operations Specialist will also demonstrate effective independent critical thinking skills and effective communication and interpersonal skills for a hybrid work environment. 

The incumbent performs work both independently with regard to accomplishing all responsibilities as part of a team in a highly collaborative manner and with key stakeholders.  The role may focus on resolution of complex problems or transactions where expertise is required to interpret against policies, guidelines or processes. This team operates with a rotational schedule across disciplines (inquiry management, cash management, security management and derivative management) in 3-month intervals based on experience, to build broad expertise.
