Manage ongoing licence maintenance obligations across the B2B licence portfolio, including key event reporting, regulatory notifications, periodic returns, and compliance and system audits.

Act as holder of key functions and/or personal management licences, as applicable, across relevant jurisdictions, subject to regulatory approval and applicable vetting requirements.
